Abstract
Under the present invention, a method, system, and program product for providing advanced Virtual Private Network (VPN) routing that includes classifying a network transmission, between a user and a host, wherein the classification is based upon a destination port, protocol, and the like, for routing the communication either via the VPN or not via the VPN and selectively routing the network transmission based upon the classifying of the transmission.
Claims19
A method of Virtual Private Network (VPN) routing, comprising the steps of:
- classifying a network transmission, between a user and a host, for a first route or a second route of communication, wherein the first route is via a VPN and the second route is not via the VPN, wherein the classifying is based upon at least one of a destination port and a protocol;
- and
- selectively routing the network transmission based upon the classifying.
A system of Virtual Private Network (VPN) routing comprising:
- a system for classifying a network transmission, between a user and a host, for a first route or a second route of communication, wherein the first route is via a VPN and the second route is not via the VPN, wherein the classifying is based upon at least one of a destination port and a protocol;
- and
- a system for selectively routing the network transmission based upon the classifying.
A program product stored on a computer readable medium for providing advanced Virtual Private Network (VPN) routing, the computer readable medium comprising program code for performing the steps of:
- classifying a network transmission, between a user and a host, for a first route or a second route of communication, wherein the first route is via a VPN and the second route is not via the VPN, wherein the classifying is based upon at least one of a destination port and a protocol;
- and
- selectively routing the network transmission based upon the classifying.
