Abstract
A publicly addressable control infrastructure includes a plurality of connection servers and a load balancing server. The load balancing server assigns connection servers to particular communication sessions based on a number of variables. A computer at a private address exchanges secure communications with another computer at a private address via a connection server. A sending buffer at the computer is adaptively polled for data for communication to the other computer.
