Abstract
The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for associating multiple transport layer hops between a client and a server. A first intermediary device may receive a request for a transport layer connection between the client and the server. The first intermediary device may generate a unique identifier to identify a connection chain between the client and the server across a plurality of transport layer connections via the plurality of devices. The first intermediary device may set a hop count to a number of hops that the first device is between the client and the server. The first intermediary device may forward information about the unique identifier and the hop count to a next device of the plurality of devices.
