ABSTRACT:
A method and system for routing data across heterogeneous networks. In one embodiment, a heterogeneous network comprises a specialized in-band network that is privately accessible within the heterogeneous network, as well as an out-of-band network that is coupled to the in-band network by a switching platform. A client on the out-of-band network is configured to transmit a request for server data to the switching platform. The request is formatted according to the protocol of the out-of-band network and may take the form of a uniform resource locator (URL). The switching platform is configured to recognize the request as one which is directed to a server on the in-band network. The switching platform parses the request to determine the requested data and reformats this information as a new request that is transmitted to the server according to the protocol of the in-band network. The server provides data responsive to the new request, which is transmitted back to the switching platform according to the protocol of the in-band network. The switching platform then reformats the responsive data according to the protocol of the out-of-band network and transmits it to the client. The switching platform is separate from the default gateway and proxy servers.
