Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided for managing communication of data to/from a device. For example, multiple client applications running on the device can communicate to a second device through a same primary socket connection. A mux module can receive data from two different client applications over respective client connections. The received data can include header information identifying the second device as the destination. When the first data from a first client application is received at the mux module, the primary socket connection can be created; and when the second data from a second client application is received, the existing primary socket connection can be identified and re-used. The primary socket connection can be managed by a controller of the mux module.
