Abstract:
A data communication security system is disclosed that includes a network interface configured for transport layer protocol communications at a communication port. The network interface includes a security module configured to provide secure shell (SSH) data security on a transport layer data path, and which is communicatively connected to the transport layer data path. The data communication security system also includes a file-based application programming interface defining a plurality of attributes of the network interface and including at least one attribute configured for selection of the security module and accessible for use in logical I/O operations.
Abstract:
A transmitting apparatus comprises a plurality of communication sessions and a transport manager. The transport manager is configured to establish and manage network sockets for communicating between the transmitting apparatus and a network. The transport manager is configured to receive a plurality of session requests respectively corresponding with a plurality of applications that produce data, each of the session requests identifying a respective set of receiving units and a respective transport protocol. The transport manager is configured to select, in response to each one of the session requests, at least one of the sessions to service a corresponding one of the applications. The transport manager is further configured to establish a network socket for each of the selected sessions, wherein the transport manager configures the network socket to communicate, with the set of receiving units identified by the corresponding session request, via the transport protocol identified by the corresponding session request.
Abstract:
A system and method for enabling single-socket server applications to receive information via multiple ports. In one embodiment, a system includes a network tunnel configured to receive traffic at a first port of an application server and to communicate the received traffic to a second port of the application server. The system further includes a single-socket application, coupled to the second port of the application server, to monitor for incoming traffic at the second port, and to receive the traffic destined for the first port and communicated to the second port via the network tunnel.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for wireless communications, wherein distinct port partitions are assigned to processing entities on a user equipment device. Doing so provides the processing entities with concurrent access to the single PDN connection.
Abstract:
Computerized methods, systems, and computer-storage media for establishing and managing a transmission control protocol (TCP)-based tunnel (“tunnel”) are provided. The tunnel spans between a data center and a private enterprise network and connects endpoints, of a service application, that reside in each location. During communication, the endpoints transmit data packets over one or more channels (e.g., higher-level channel and lower-level channel) that comprise the tunnel. Each of the channels supports reliability mechanisms (e.g., congestion-control mechanism and loss-recovery mechanism) integrally running thereon, for ensuring complete data-packet delivery. To prevent unwarranted performance degradation caused by duplicative efforts of reliability mechanisms, a fabric controller is employed to selectively disable one or more of the reliability mechanisms individually. The selective disablement of the reliability mechanisms is invoked by predefined criteria, such as instructions from a service model or detected identity of a source/destination endpoint, and is invoked on a per network connection basis.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for transporting data between two endpoints over an encoded channel are disclosed. Data transmission units (data units) from the source network are received at an encoding component logically located between the endpoints. These first data units are subdivided into second data units and are transmitted to the destination network over the transport network. Also transmitted are encoded or extra second data units that allow the original first data units to be recreated even if some of the second data units are lost. These encoded second data units may be merely copies of the second data units transmitted, parity second data units, or second data units which have been encoded using erasure correcting coding. At the receiving endpoint, the second data units are received and are used to recreate the original first data units.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for processing messages. A transport protocol stack receives messages from senders. The transport protocol stack comprises a concurrent stack having an out of band thread pool and a non-out of band thread pool. A channel is formed with a thread from the non-out of band thread pool of the concurrent stack for each sender. Non-out of band messages are processed in parallel for each scope of an application with a non-out of band thread. Non-out of band messages pertains to processes of the application from a same sender. Processes from a scope of the application are unrelated to processes from another scope of the application. Non-out of band messages within a same scope are processed in a predefined order.
Abstract:
A system having a distributed web site is described. The web site is distributed between a client, a server and a web server. The client stores a set of predefined applications that correspond to a part of the web site. The applications are formatted according to a first markup language. From the set of predefined applications, the client can generate queries. The server receives the queries and generates new, related queries. The new queries correspond to a second query protocol. The second query protocol is used by the web server. The web server generates responses to the new queries and sends these responses to the server. The responses are formatted according to a second markup language. These responses correspond to the second portion of the web site. The server then converts the responses into new responses that the client can use.
Abstract:
A communications device provides a user with a sensory cue that informs the user of certain characteristics of a subsequent action that includes data communications. By informing the user of the data communication characteristics before the user initiates the data communication action, the invention appropriately sets user expectations regarding the data communication characteristics. For example, one embodiment of the invention is implemented in a portable communications device with a screen. For subsequent actions that include wireless communications, the portable communications device simultaneously displays a wireless link icon sensory cue next to a user interface graphic element. The user interface element is used to initiate the subsequent action. The user interface element can be an operating system object having an embedded link type icon. The wireless link icon informs the user that the subsequent action corresponding to the user interface element requires wireless communication and the expense and time associated therewith. A method, a system and an apparatus for indicating characteristics of a subsequent action to a user before the user begins the subsequent action are provided.
Abstract:
Provided are methods for partitioning communication data in a network and disambiguating fixed or non-ephemeral communication data from ephemeral communication data and services. In one example, kmeans data clustering is used to partition or cluster server ports based on a location of the server ports in a 2-dimensional space. The location of the server ports may be based on a number of connections per server port and the number of servers using that port.
