A transmitting data between a real first network and a real second network is provided. The transmission device has a first network port for coupling to the real first network and a second network port for coupling to the real second network and also comprises: a simulation unit which is connected to the first network port and which is configured to receive network-specific data from the real first network via the first network port, to provide, in accordance with the received network-specific data, a virtual simulation network of the real first network, and to prepare the provided virtual simulation network, via the second network port, for access to the provided virtual simulation network by the real second network. The transmission device provided allows an attacker to be deliberately deceived, which increases security against attempts to access the real first network from the real second network.

Provided herein are systems and methods for providing insights or metrics in connection with provisioning applications and/or desktop sessions to end-users. Network devices (e.g., appliances, intermediary devices, gateways, proxy devices or middle-boxes) can gather insights such as network-level statistics. Additional insights (e.g., metadata and metrics) associated with virtual applications and virtual desktops can be gathered to provide administrators with comprehensive end-to-end real-time and/or historical reports of performance and end-user experience (UX) insights. Insights relating to an application or desktop session can be used to determine and/or improve the overall health of the infrastructure of the session, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, the applications (e.g., remote desktop application) being delivered using the infrastructure, and/or the corresponding user experience.

Example devices, systems, and methods for emulating a PTT device at an incident location are provided. An example server receives a request for a remote push-to-talk (PTT) device to be emulated at a target location in a vicinity of an incident, selects local communication infrastructure that supports public safety services for local PTT devices located near the target location, and ransmits, to the local communication infrastructure, instructions for the local communication infrastructure to register an emulated PTT device as a proxy for the remote PTT device at the target location.

A principal application may be executed on a principal computing device. A surrogate application may be executed on a surrogate computing device. The surrogate application running on the surrogate computing device may be a surrogate for the principal application running on the principal computing device. The principal application running on the principal computing device and the surrogate application running on the surrogate computing device may form multiple presences of the principal application on separate computing devices. Information may be relayed between the principal application running on the principal computing device and the surrogate application running on the surrogate computing device.

A request to establish a bi-directional full-duplex network connection is received. The request conforms to a half-duplex network connection protocol and the half-duplex connection protocol is a HTTP based protocol. The request is processed to determine a decision on whether to allow the bi-directional full-duplex connection. In the event the decision is to allow the bi-directional full-duplex connection, the bi-directional full-duplex network connection is established using the half-duplex network connection protocol. The bi-directional full-duplex connection utilizes a WebSocket communication protocol. Establishing the bi-directional full-duplex connection utilizes a plurality of half duplex connections. A confirmation that the bi-directional full-duplex network connection has been established is provided.

Various embodiments are described herein for methods and systems for providing, at a user device, an online emulation via a host server. A plurality of resources are provided via a host server by providing a plurality of initial software applications. Each resource in the plurality of resources is included in at least one initial software application in the plurality of initial software applications. A customized software application for emulation at the user device is defined to include a set of functionalities with at least one distinguishing functionality that is absent from each initial software application. The host server determines a set of resources for providing the set of functionalities and provides the emulation by accessing and running the set of resources.
