ABSTRACT:
Increasing the level of automation when establishing and managing network connections. A connection manager operates between system level APIs and application programs, providing a level of abstraction. When a user wishes to access a remote resource included in destination network, the user simply identifies the remote resource and the connection manager performs the underlying operations. The connection manager relieves users from having to know detailed information about the remote resource and the destination network. When the connection manager receives a request to access a remote resource, connection manager may utilize extensible decision logic to identify a most appropriate connection method for connecting to a destination network. Such decision logic may include comparing prioritized connection requests to local resources available in a local computing device, as well as, comparing connection parameters associated with connection methods. The connection manager may utilize connection service provider modules to establish identified connection methods.
