A computer implemented method, apparatus, system, and computer usable program code for updating a domain name server. In response to detecting a failed network interface in a plurality of network interfaces on a content server, the content server identifies an IP address for the failed network interface. The content server notifies a domain name server that the IP address for the failed network interface is an unreachable IP address. The domain name server does not provide the unreachable IP address to a querying client.

A method, system and apparatus for improving data transfer rate over a network are provided. When a piece of data is to be transmitted to a target system, it is divided into a number of packets and a determination is made as to whether the number of packets exceeds a threshold number. If so, the packets are transferred in parallel over a plurality of network connections. The ideal network connections are TCP/IP connections. Thus, each packet has an IP header, which contains an IP identification field. An indicium is placed into the IP identification field for proper reconstruction of the data by the target system.

The illustrative embodiments provide a computer implemented method, a data processing system, and a computer program product for managing a plurality of interfaces. An application selects a subset of the plurality of interfaces. In response to the selection, the application is bound to the subset of interfaces, wherein the application listens to the subset of interfaces.

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for processing data packets. A set of data fragments are received at the data processing system to form a set of received data fragments. Assembly of the set of data fragments is initiated into a data packet, and a determination as to whether the data packet is an incomplete data packet. Responsive to a determination that the data packet is an incomplete data packet, the incomplete data packet is filled with at least one character to form a final data packet. The final data packet is forwarded to the target.

A method, system, and computer program product for negotiating a smart maximum segment size of a network connection for a data transfer. A client request to initiate a network connection, which includes a first maximum segment size, is received at a server. The server calculates a second maximum segment size, wherein at least one of the first maximum segment size or the second maximum segment size is a cache line size aligned Ethernet frame size, or smart maximum segment size. The server determines the smaller of the first and second maximum segment sizes and sends the second maximum segment size to the client. The client then selects the smaller of the first and second maximum segment sizes, and sends an acknowledgement to the server to complete the connection. The smaller of the first and second maximum segment sizes is used for the network connection and subsequent data transfer.
摘要:
A method, network receiver and TCP network that enables a receiver-side triggering of the fast retransmit mechanism when a TCP packet/segment is lost or received out-of sequencing order. The receiver is enhanced with a Fast Retransmit Support (FRS) utility that monitors when a next received packet is out-of-order and responds by transmitting a duplicate acknowledgment (ACK) response that includes therein the same window value as the previous ACK. By including the previous clock time, even when the current window value has advanced, the fast retransmit algorithm at the transmitter is triggering before the timeout period.
摘要:
A TCP/IP retransmission frame contains multiple TCP segments containing non-contiguous missing packets from a data communication. A TCP option in the first segment in the frame indicates the presence of multiple TCP payloads in the frame. Each TCP payload has a corresponding prepended TCP header. An offset address specified in each TCP header within the frame identifies the location of the next TCP header in the frame. Network throughput performance is enhanced by permitting multiple non-contiguous packets to be retransmitted in a single IP packet.

The reassembly timer in a TCP/IP receiver is dynamically set to avoid data corruption on fast networks caused by IP identification wrap-around. A receiver independently sets the reassembly timer to a first reassembly time set by the user for fast networks or to a second reassembly timer set by the user for slow networks based on whether the receiver and sender are on the same subnet.
摘要:
A method, system, and product are described for alleviating router congestion when the router is processing packets transmitted by computer systems having a congestion notification capability. The router marks packets transmitted between a first computer system and a second computer system when the first and second computer systems have the congestion notification capability. The marking indicates that the router is moderately congested. A marked packet is then received by the first computer system. The router then drops packets transmitted by the first computer system when the packets were transmitted subsequently to the receipt of the marked packet.
摘要:
An improved method, apparatus, and computer instructions for preventing denial of service attacks on persistent connections. A synchronize packet is received. In response to receiving the synchronize packet, a state of the persistent connection is identified. An action on the synchronize packet is deferred until a subsequent communication with a peer to the persistent connection.
