摘要:
A protocol that provides assurance of consistent replication of objects from a server to caching servers, for example, over data communication networks such as the Internet. It is an application-layer protocol which guarantees delivery of objects such as files. This protocol insures that objects sent by a source machine such as a server to any number of destination machines such as caching servers actually arrive at the intended caching servers even when the caching servers are temporarily unavailable, for example, due to failure or network partition.

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for establishing a persistent connection between a user device and a service gateway. Specifically, the method comprises obtaining state information in response to a connection request, establishing a connection between the user device and the service gateway using the state information, and maintaining the state information associated with the connection such that the connection is persistent through at least one network state change.

A forward error correction system adaptively changes the number of parity bits, bytes or packets transmitted to a receiver, based on previous error patterns experienced recently in the reception of original and parity bits, bytes or packets by that receiver.

A wireless communications system is arranged to provide data communications services, including error recovery, between at least one wireless end-user device and at least one one base station. The wireless end user device(s) receives(s) from the base station(s) unsolicited messages indicative of the status of data packets received by the base station(s). The wireless end-user device(s) transmit acknowledgement and request for retransmission messages only upon request, or when all the packets within a block of such packets have been received.
摘要:
A method of network multicasting using transport layer protocols, suitable for use in ATM networks, is disclosed. The protocols advantageously combine the acknowledgments of individual destinations along the underlying multicast tree to prevent acknowledgement implosion. The inventive method also prevents unnecessary retransmission by performing local multicasts.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for seamless roaming support for wireless networks is disclosed. The method includes broadcasting a request for a physical address of a default router related to a mobile unit; receiving the request at the default router; replying to the mobile unit; and creating an initial entry in a location table.

A method and apparatus for accessing a CDMA2000 network translate Internet (IP) addresses of wired and wireless out-of-network users in a source IP address of a single CDMA2000 account that is used for data communications with users of the CDMA2000 network by a group of the out-of-network users.
摘要:
A data streaming transmission method and system is disclosed having a network server connected to client device through a communication network with one or more of caching servers. The network server has a data streaming application and a memory for storing data. A series of connections, each using a data streaming arrangement, is formed in the path between the source network and client device by the caching servers. Each caching server can absorb network congestion in its downstream connection by utilizing an expandable buffer for storing additional segments of the streamed data and varying the transmission data rate in the down stream connection.

A caching device comprises a disk cache that stores web objects. Each web object stored in disk cache is stored in contiguous storage space locations in the disk cache. Each pair of temporally successive web objects stored in the disk cache are stored in substantially sequential storage space locations in the disk cache.
