Method and system for enabling data usage accounting for unreliable transport communication
First Claim
1. A method of enabling data usage accounting for an unreliable transport communication, comprising:
- launching an enterprise application that is installed on a computing device, wherein the enterprise application has been identified for data usage accounting separate from personal applications installed on the computing device;
receiving through the enterprise application a datagram send request that involves unreliable transport communication intended for a final destination;
transparently redirecting the datagram send request to facilitate the unreliable transport communication with a relay destination instead of the final destination;
requesting the relay destination to facilitate another unreliable transport communication with the final destination; and
receiving data from the final destination via the unreliable transport communication with the relay destination.

Abstract
A method and system for data usage accounting are described herein. On a computing device that includes enterprise applications and personal applications, a datagram send request for an enterprise application can be received. The datagram send request may involve unreliable transport communication with a final destination and may be conducted in a native fashion with respect to the enterprise application. Based on the datagram send request, addressing information of a relay destination that is different from the final destination can be received. In addition, outbound datagrams of the unreliable transport communication can be corresponded with the received addressing information of the relay destination. The outbound datagrams of the unreliable transport communication may also be supplemented with the addressing information of the final destination. The outbound datagrams of the unreliable transport communication may also be transmitted to the relay destination to enable a data usage accounting of the datagram send request.
