Securing An Access Provider
First Claim
1. A method of handling connection transactions, the method comprising:
- detecting, at an intermediary device, a partially-completed connection transaction in which a time out condition is reached prior to receipt of an acknowledgement corresponding to a connection transaction request submitted by a requestor device to an access providing host; and
delaying termination of the partially-completed connection transaction to allow the intermediary device to continue monitoring communications from the requestor device to the access providing host as well as other access providing hosts.

Abstract
To secure an access provider, communications to/from the access provider are monitored for a partially-completed connection transaction. Detected partially-completed connection transactions are terminated when they remain in existence for a period of time that exceeds a threshold period of time. The monitoring may include detecting partially-completed connection transactions initiated by an access requestor, measuring the period of time that a partially-completed connection transaction remains in existence, comparing the period of time with the threshold period of time, and resetting a communication port located on the access provider.
