Systems and methods for establishing highly secure and resilient persistent communication connections

A first device executing a first software application for participating in a teleconferencing session, the first device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a machine-readable medium storing instructions therein which, when executed by the processor, cause the first device to:
• identify a second device registered with a client connection service, wherein:
• the second device is different than the first device,
• the second device is executing a second software application for participating in the teleconferencing session with the first device,
• the second device is configured to communicate with the first device via the client connection service,
• the client connection service includes a transport service, configured to receive bind requests from the first device and the second device to create instance records in the transport service for the first and second software applications, respectively,
• the client connection service includes a registry service, configured to maintain a registry of software applications that have instance records created in the transport service of the client connection service, and
• the transport service is configured to provide target resources for exchanging messages between the first device and the second device after the instance records have been created in the transport service and registered in the registry service,
• obtain, from the transport service of the client connection service via a data communication network, after the instance records for the first and second software applications have been created in the transport service and registered in the registry service, a first resource identifier for delivering request messages to the second device via the client connection service;
• identify, based on the obtained first resource identifier, a first target resource for a first request message directed to the second device, wherein the first target resource specifies a first host included in the transport service in the client connection service;
• send, to the transport service of the client connection service via the data communication network, the first request message to the first target resource for delivery to the second device by the client connection service via the first host in the transport service;
• and
• receive, from the transport service of the client connection service via the data communication network, a first response message provided by the second device as a response to the first request message.
