Abstract
Examples herein disclose a facilitation of a direct connection between a source and a destination. In response to a request from the source to facilitate the direct connection, the examples identify the destination among multiple destinations based on available bandwidth from the multiple destinations. The examples transmit a security token to the identified destination for authentication of traffic from the source, wherein the source includes an indication of a period of time. Based on the indication of the period of time, the examples limit the direct connection.
Claims15
A method, executable by a networking device, the method comprising:
- in response to a request from a source to facilitate a direct connection, identifying a destination among multiple destinations based on available bandwidth from the multiple destinations;
- transmitting a first key pair to the source and a second key pair to the identified destination, wherein the transmitted second key pair includes an indication of a period of time;
- and
- limiting the direct connection based on the indication of the period of time.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processing resource cause a networking device to:
- in response to a request from a source to facilitate a direct connection, identifying a destination among multiple destinations based on available bandwidth from the multiple destinations;
- transmit a security token to the identified destination for authenticating traffic from the source, wherein the security token includes an indication of a period of time;
- and
- limit the direct connection based on the indication of the period of time.
A system comprising:
- a first load balancer adaptable to:
- in response to a request from a source to facilitate a direct connection, identify a destination among multiple destinations based on available bandwidth from the multiple destinations;
- transmit a first key pair to the source and a second key pair to the identified destination, wherein the transmitted second key pair includes an indication of a period of time;
- and
- limit the direct connection to the source and the identified destination based on the indication of the period of time.
