1. A method implemented in a computing system of communicating between a first network application and a second network application, comprising:

  • receiving at a first multiplexer application a plurality of SQL transactions from a first network application directed to a second network application, the second network application being a SQL server application, each of the plurality of SQL transactions associated with a separate logical session between the first network application and the second network application;

    for each of the plurality of SQL transactions, generating a packet comprising the SQL transaction and a session identifier identifying a logical session between the first network application and the second network application;

    sending the generated packet through a physical connection to a second multiplexer application, using a supported network protocol;

    receiving the generated packet through the physical connection using the supported protocol at the second multiplexer application;

    retrieving the generated packet from the supported protocol;

    processing the generated packet to retrieve the SQL transaction; and

    for the SQL transaction;

    identifying from the session identifier the logical session associated with the SQL transaction between the first network application and the second network application; and

    when the packet is a data packet, forwarding the SQL transaction to the second network application at the logical session, the forwarding the SQL transaction comprising checking if there is sufficient buffer space available for the session, and forwarding the transaction to the second network application if there is sufficient buffer space available.
