Remote socket splicing system

An information handling system (IHS), comprising:

• a first chassis;
• a first communication system that is housed in the first chassis and that is configured to couple to a second communication system that is housed in a second chassis of a first router device;
• a processing system that is housed in the first chassis and coupled to the first communication system;
• and
• a memory system that is housed in the first chassis and that is coupled to the processing system and that includes instruction that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to provide a remote socket splicing engine that is configured to:
• operate on a first connection through the second communication system included in the first router device and to a first computing device using the first communication system;
• operate on a second connection through the second communication system included in the first router device and to a second computing device using the first communication system;
• and
• send, to the first router device using the first communication system, an instruction to perform a socket splicing operation on the second communication system subsequent to operating on the first connection and the second connection, wherein the instruction to perform the socket splicing operation is configured to cause the second communication system included in the first router device to provide a first data path between the first computing device and the second computing device that does not include the first communication system.

A method for performing remote socket slicing, comprising:

• operating, by a proxy system that includes a first chassis and a first communication system that is housed in the first chassis, on a first connection with a first computing device through a second communication system that is housed in a second chassis of a first router device, wherein the second communication system is coupled to the first communication system;
• operating, by the proxy system, on a second connection with a second computing device through the first communication system and the second communication included in the first router device;
• and
• sending, by the proxy system to the first router device using the first communication system, an instruction to perform a socket splicing operation on the second communication system subsequent to operating the first connection and the second connection, wherein the instruction to perform the socket splicing operation is configured to cause the second communication system included in the first router device to provide a first data path between the first computing device and the second computing device that does not include the first communication system included in the proxy system.
