Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for in-transit protocol translation. Specifically, various approaches are described for translating protocols for intermediate networks in a way by which there is no need of support for encapsulation/decapsulation at the end hosts and does not require any changes to end hosts or transit networks. Various embodiments include intercepting traffic between one or more source client devices and a transit network; detecting a first communication protocol used by the one or more source client devices in the traffic; translating the traffic from the first communication protocol to a second communication protocol; and forwarding the traffic to the transit network using the second communication protocol.
