Abstract

See full text

In a server device, a method for validating a network path in a network includes receiving a listing of ports from a client device, each port in the listing of ports associated with the server device and receiving a request message from the client device via a first identified port in the listing of ports. The method includes, in response to receiving the request message, opening a subsequent identified port in the listing of ports for communication with the client device and, following opening of the subsequent identified port in the listing of ports, transmitting a response message to the client device via the first identified port.
