Abstract

A communication method allowing data to be exchanged over different networks and having a firewall network tunnel and location transparency includes a first web application program, a first web server, a first cache, a first transport layer communication program, a plurality of second web application programs, a plurality of second web servers, a plurality of second caches, a plurality of second transport layer communication protocols, a plurality of Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP), a first communication packet, a plurality of HTTP second communication packets, a plurality of cache communication packets, and a plurality of transport layer communication packets, to achieve communication over different networks by executing certain steps.

Claims

1. A communication method having a firewall network tunnel and location transparency, allowing data to be exchanged over different networks, the communication method comprising the following steps:

(A) having a first web application program to transport at least one HTTP first communication packet to a first web server;

(B) executing step (O) if the first web server can process the HTTP first communication packet in step (A);

(C) having the first web server to transport at least one cache communication packet to a first cache;

(D) having the first cache to transport at least one cache communication packet to the first web server;

(E) executing step (O) if the first web server, after receiving the cache communication packet in step (D), can process the HTTP communication packet in step (A);

(F) having the first web server to transport at least one HTTP second communication packet to a first transport layer communication program;

(G) having the first transport layer communication protocol to transport at least one transport layer communication packet to a second transport layer communication protocol;

(H) having the second transport layer communication protocol to transport at least one HTTP second communication packet to a second web server;

(I) having the second web server to transport at least one cache communication packet to a second cache;

(J) having the second cache to transport a cache communication packet to the second web server;

(K) having the second network to transport at least one HTTP second communication packet to the second transport layer communication protocol;

(L) having the second transport communication protocol to transport at least one transport layer communication packet to the first transport layer communication protocol;

(M) having the first transport layer communication protocol to transport at least one HTTP second communication packet to the first web server;

(N) having the first web server to transport at least one cache communication packet to the first cache; and

(O) having the first web server to transport at least one HTTP first communication packet to the first web application program.

2. The communication method of claim 1, wherein the transport layer communication packet is a TCP packet, a UDP packet, a UDP hole punching packet or a universal plug-n-play (UPnP) packet,

3. The communication method of claim 1, wherein the HTTP first communication packet and the HTTP second communication packet become an HTTPS communication packet by appending encryption function.
