System and method for managing the data packets exchanged across a computer network

A computer-implemented method for managing communications within a computer network, said method comprising following computer implemented steps:

• generating, by a source computer, a communication initiation request for establishing a communication session between said source computer and a destination computer, said communication initiation request specifying at least a source IP address identifying said source computer, a destination IP address identifying said destination computer, a source communication port corresponding to said source computer and a destination communication port corresponding to said destination computer;
• establishing, by said source computer, a first communication path with an intermediary server, thereby bypassing a source firewall monitoring only outbound communications from said source computer by virtue of said source computer being registered with said intermediary server;
• registering said source computer and said destination computer to said intermediary server, on basis of corresponding authentication information authenticating said source computer and said destination computer respectively;
• transmitting, by said source computer, said communication initiation request to said intermediary server via said first communication path;
• storing in a repository, at least permission information corresponding to the computer network, said permission information indicative of at least destination IP addresses, destination communication ports and source IP addresses, source communication ports configured to facilitate said communications within said computer network;
• processing, by said intermediary server, said communication initiation request, and determining based on a comparison between said permission information stored in said repository and said destination IP address and destination communication port specified by said communication initiation request, whether said source computer is authorized to establish said communication session with said destination computer;
• establishing, by said intermediary server, a second communication path with said destination server, thereby bypassing said destination firewall monitoring only inbound communications to said destination computer by virtue of said destination computer being registered with said intermediary server;
• generating, by said intermediary server, a notification in response to said communication initiation request, and transmitting said notification to said destination computer via said second communication path;
• transmitting, by said intermediary server, said notification to said destination server, and triggering said destination computer to establish said communication session with said source computer, only in an event that said source computer is determined to be allowed to initiate said communication session with said destination computer;
• and
• triggering, by said intermediary server, said destination computer to communicate with said source computer, and causing said destination computer to transmit at least one outbound response to said communication initiation request, using said source IP address, said source communication port, said destination IP address, and said destination communication port, and wherein said outbound response, while in transit to said source computer bypasses said destination firewall monitoring only inbound communications to said destination computer.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereupon, the instructions when executed by the processor cause the processor to:

• generate a communication initiation request for establishing a communication session between a source computer and a destination computer, said communication initiation request specifying at least a source IP address identifying said source computer, a destination IP address identifying said destination computer, a source communication port corresponding to said source computer and a destination communication port corresponding to said destination computer;
• establish a first communication path with an intermediary server, thereby bypassing a source firewall monitoring only outbound communications from said source computer by virtue of said source computer being registered with said intermediary server;
• register said source computer and said destination computer to said intermediary server, on basis of corresponding authentication information authenticating said source computer and said destination computer respectively;
• transmit said communication initiation request to said intermediary server via said first communication path;
• store in a repository, at least permission information corresponding to the computer network, said permission information indicative of at least destination IP addresses, destination communication ports and source IP addresses, source communication ports configured to facilitate said communications within said computer network;
• process said communication initiation request, and determine based on a comparison between said permission information stored in said repository and said destination IP address and destination communication port specified by said communication initiation request, whether said source computer is authorized to establish said communication session with said destination computer;
• establish a second communication path with said destination server, thereby bypassing said destination firewall monitoring only inbound communications to said destination computer by virtue of said destination computer being registered with said intermediary server;
• generate a notification in response to said communication initiation request, and transmit said notification to said destination computer via said second communication path;
• transmit said notification to said destination server, and trigger said destination computer to establish said communication session with said source computer, only in an event that said source computer is determined to be allowed to initiate said communication session with said destination computer;
• and
• trigger said destination computer to communicate with said source computer, and causing said destination computer to transmit at least one outbound response to said communication initiation request, using said source IP address, said source communication port, said destination IP address, and said destination communication port, and wherein said outbound response, while in transit to said source computer bypasses said destination firewall monitoring only inbound communications to said destination computer.
