摘要:
An apparatus and method for multicasting messages stored in data buffers of a data storage. Each message is composed of data stored in a plurality of the data buffers. Each data buffer is controlled and mapped to a unique direct control block (DCB) which stores information characterizing the data buffer. By chaining the DCBs variable length, messages can be generated. Indirect control blocks (ICB) stores information characterizing the data or messages duplicated and points to a DCB. A field in the DCB carries a count representing the number of times the message is to be duplicated.

摘要:
In a packet switched communications system an incoming real-time packet is imbedded after the next block of data of the non-real-time packet being transmitted. This object is accomplished by transmitting each packet along with at least a 1-byte trailer which is used to indicate the packet type, whether the current block of non real time data is preempted or whether the current block of non real time data is resumed.

Certain exemplary embodiments provide a method for converting data packets based upon IPv4 protocol into data packets based upon IPv6 protocol, said method comprising converting any data packet based upon the IPv4 protocol into a data packet based upon the IPv6 protocol before transmitting it to an IP switched network using information provided by an external server, and converting any data packet based upon the IPv6 protocol provided by said IP switched network into a data packet based upon the IPv4 protocol before transmitting it to a first or second workstation.
摘要:
Method for transmitting high-priority packets in an IP transmission network based upon the Internet Protocol (IP) wherein low-priority packets or fragments of packets are transmitted between a sender and a receiver and at least a high-priority packet can be transmitted from the sender to the receiver by pre-emption of a low-priority packet or a fragment of packet. The method comprises in the sender, the steps of determining whether a low-priority packet or fragment of packet is being transmitted from the sender to the receiver when a high-priority packet has to be transmitted, setting to 1 a reserved bit within the IP header of the high-priority packet used as a pre-emption indicator if a low-priority packet or fragment of packet is currently transmitted, transmitting the high-priority packet with the pre-emption indicator set to 1 from the sender to the receiver, and resuming the transmission of the low-priority packet or fragment of packet at the end of transmission of the high-priority packet.

摘要:
Described is a system and method for receiving an electronic mail including an attachment file and separating the attachment file from the electronic mail. The attachment is then sent to a remote source and the attachment file is replaced with a substitute file including identifying data for retrieving the attachment file from the remote source. The electronic mail with the substitute file is then forwarded to a receiver.
摘要:
Today, a Client and an associated Server use a single IP priority for all the data packets exchanged over a TCP session used to transport the Telnet traffic (file transfer and screen related interactions). The present invention discloses a method and system to provide the Client with the capability, when exchanging a file with an SNA Host over a TCP session, to dynamically change (i.e downgrade) the IP priority associated to all data packets flowing to the TN3270 Server over the TCP session, during the whole duration of the file transfer. The associated Server, on receipt of a data packet from the client (due to screen related interactions or to file transfers), memorizes the associated priority and uses this priority over all packets that it sends back to the client. This allows IP network implementation to give higher priority treatment to the data packets due to screen related interactions (interactive traffic) over data packets related to file transfer (batch traffic). The priority used by data packets related to file transfer is customisable, to give maximum freedom to the network designer. For example, SNA true interactive traffic (due to screen related interactions) could flow on the highest priority, pure IP traffic could flow on any of the possible medium priorities and data packet due to file transfer could use the lowest priority within the network.
