Patent ID: 8375123

Claim:
A computer implemented method for reporting session information for a session upstream from a server, the method comprising: receiving, by the server, a session handshake from a first client for a first session between the server and the first client; receiving, by the server, a session descriptor for a second session between a second client and the first client before handling a nested session, wherein the session descriptor comprises a first client address and a second client address, wherein the nested session is between the second client and the server; storing, by the server, the session descriptor in an upstream data structure, the upstream data structure including information concerning each session included in the nested session; determining, by the server, whether a user has made an upstream session request for details concerning all sessions of the nested session between the second client and the server, wherein the user is associated with the second client; responsive to a determination that the user has made an upstream session request, obtaining, by the server, session data from the upstream data structure; and rendering, by the server, the session data based on the upstream session request.
