Abstract
Various systems and methods for exchanging communications between devices coupled by an address translation device are disclosed. These techniques can be used to facilitate automatic relationship discovery. One method involves extracting a sequence number from a TCP acknowledgment message being conveyed from a network interface to a TCP stack, and then sending a new TCP message, which includes the sequence number.
