Abstract
In one implementation, traffic in a mobile network is directed across multiple paths to a single cloud server or security server (e.g., a security as a service). The mobile device detects a cloud connector through a primary connection based on an attachment or connection via a first interface of a mobile device. The mobile device sends a request to the cloud connector for an identification of a cloud security server associated with the cloud connector. After receiving the identification of the cloud security server, the mobile device directs one or more subsequent data flows or subflows for a second interface or another interface of the mobile device to the cloud server or security server. The second data flow and the second interface are associated with another network that is external to the enterprise network and trusted network connection or not associated with the enterprise network and the trusted network connection.
