摘要:
Techniques are disclosed for processing messages in a messaging system, particularly during an overload condition. For example, a method of processing messages of an instant messaging system includes the following steps. A message from a first instant messaging user is received during an overload condition. A message type associated with the received message is determined. The method then decides whether to send the message to a second instant messaging user based on the determined message type of the received message. In another method, processing messages in an instant messaging system includes the following steps. Presence information associated with a first instant messaging system user is received. The presence information is sent to a second instant messaging system user when the second messaging system user requests the presence information associated with the first instant messaging system user.

A technique for use in a client, wherein the client supports a state-based signaling protocol (e.g., Session Initiation Protocol or SIP), includes initiating a given session state between the client and a server that also supports the state-based signaling protocol, and refreshing the given session state in a randomized manner. Further, a technique for use in a server, wherein the server supports a state-based signaling protocol (again, e.g., SIP), includes randomly assigning an expiration time duration for a given session state between the server and a client that also supports the state-based signaling protocol, and reporting the randomly assigned expiration time for the given session state to the client. By randomizing various behaviors of the client, the server, or both, bursty traffic in the communication network is reduced or eliminated.

A method for operating a server having a maximum capacity for servicing requests comprises the following steps: receiving a plurality of requests; classifying each request according to a value; determining a priority for handling the request according to the value, such that requests with higher values are assigned higher priorities; placing each request in one of multiple queues according to its priority value; and dropping the requests with the lowest priority when the plurality of requests are received at a rate that exceeds the maximum capacity. The server operates according to a session initiation protocol.Classifying each request comprises running a classification algorithm. The classification algorithm comprising steps of: receiving a rule set, each rule comprising headers and conditions; creating a condition table by taking a union of all conditions in the rules; creating a header table by extracting a common set of headers from the condition table; extracting the relevant headers from the header table; determining a matching rule; creating a bit vector table; selecting the matching rule according to data in the bit vector table; and applying the rule to place the message in the appropriate queue.

A method of transmitting information to a receiving computer systems includes determining in a processing unit of a computer whether a receiving computer system can receive the information without converting a local format of the information into a canonical format of the information, if it is determined that the receiving computer system cannot receive the information without converting the local format into the canonical format, then converting the local format to the canonical format and transmitting the information to the receiving computer system, and if it is determined that the receiving computer system can receive the information without converting the local format into the canonical format, then transmitting the information to the receiving computer system.

摘要:
A number of improvements in network adapters that offload protocol processing from the host processor are provided. Specifically, a mechanism for improving connection establishment in a system utilizing an offload network adapter is provided. The connection establishment mechanism provides the ability to offload connection establishment and maintenance of connection state information to the offload network adapter. As a result of this offloading of connection establishment and state information maintenance, the number of communications needed between the host system and the offload network adapter may be reduced. In addition, offloading of these functions to the offload network adapter permits bulk notification of established connections and state information to the host system rather than piecemeal notifications as is present in known computing systems.
