Abstract
Technology is described for establishing and transferring transmission control protocol (TCP) connections. A connection may be established when an acknowledgement (ACK) packet is received from the client. A connection handoff packet may be generated that includes connection parameters that describe the connection with the client. The connection handoff packet may be sent to a destination host to enable the destination host to take over the connection with the client based on the connection parameters in the SYN cookie.
