ABSTRACT:
A system is disclosed that allows an entity outside of a private network to initiate communication with an entity inside the private network. The entity inside of the private network maintains a persistent connection with an agent. In one embodiment, communications that are intended for the entity inside the private network are sent to the agent. The agent then forwards the communications to the entity inside the private via the persistent connection.
