1. A computer hardware system comprising at least one processing unit coupled to a memory, wherein the memory is encoded with computer executable instructions that when executed cause the at least one processing unit to:

  • receive a request from a user device to access a resource, the resource requiring authentication for access;

    determine whether a previously used authenticated connection is available, wherein a previously used connection is a connection that has previously been used to fulfill a request provided by the user device enabling data associated with the previously fulfilled request to be buffered and more readily available to fulfill a subsequent request;

    if the previously used authenticated connection is available, fulfill the request using the previously used authenticated connection;

    if the previously used authenticated connection is not available, determine whether a first unused authenticated connection is available;

    if the first unused authenticated connection is available, fulfill the request using the first unused authenticated connection;

    if the first unused authenticated connection is not available, determine whether a first unauthenticated connection is available;

    if the first unauthenticated connection is not available, establish a second unauthenticated connection with the resource;

    authenticate the second unauthenticated connection to provide a second unused authenticated connection; and

    fulfill the request using the second unused authenticated connection.
