20090063698 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AGGREGATE BANDWITH CONTROL - A virtual link bandwidth control scheme is described that is a software-based mechanism for achieving distributed and coordinated bandwidth control. The scheme can be seamlessly integrated with the data transfer protocols utilizing queuing delay as part of rate control mechanism for data transfer and allows multiple processes to self-limit their transfer speeds, so that the aggregate rate stabilizes at a pre-configured level below the physical bottleneck capacity. | 2009-03-05 |
20090063699 | MEDIA PLAYER PLUG-IN INSTALLATION TECHNIQUES - In general, the invention is directed to techniques of distributing media player plug-in software. As described herein, default media player software may cause a client device to begin receiving and presenting media data in a media object. During the presentation of the media data, the client device may identify an occurrence of a viewing event in the presentation of the media data. When this occurs, the client device automatically prompts the user of the client device to decide whether to install a media player plug-in module that enables the client device to overcome the viewing event. If the user decides to install the media player plug-in module, the client device automatically downloads and installs the media player plug-in module. Subsequently, the media player plug-in module causes the client device to receive the additional media data. | 2009-03-05 |
20090063700 | Communication system between a vehicle network and a wayside network - A system for communications between a vehicle network and a wayside network includes a router in the vehicle network configured to manage routing of data over one of at least two clients, and a radio-frequency based communication network for providing a connection between each client and an access point linked to the wayside network. Monitoring means in a vehicle of the vehicle network are configured to control a quality of the connection in order to configure the router so that one of the clients is selected for the data routing between the vehicle and the wayside network. | 2009-03-05 |
20090063701 | LAYERS 4-7 SERVICE GATEWAY FOR CONVERGED DATACENTER FABRIC - Layer 4 gateway for a converged datacenter fabric is described herein. According to one embodiment, a packet of a network transaction is received from a client over a first network for accessing a server of a datacenter having a plurality of servers over a second network. One or more network services are performed on the packet including terminating a TCP (transport control protocol) connection associated with the network transaction and generating a data stream. The data stream without TCP information is routed to the server via a converged I/O interface over the second network if the second network is a converged fabric network. The data stream with TCP information is routed via a TCP connection to the server if the second network is an Ethernet. Other methods and apparatuses are also described. | 2009-03-05 |
20090063702 | CROSSBAR APPARATUS FOR A FORWARDING TABLE MEMORY IN A ROUTER - A router including a lookup execution unit including a plurality of stages, a forwarding table memory arranged in hierarchy including addressable sectors, blocks, and entries, and a crossbar having an address crossbar for selectively coupling one of the plurality of stages to a sector of the memory so that data from the sector can be read. In one example, any one of the stages of the plurality of stages may be selectively and dynamically coupled with any one of the sectors of the forwarding table memory for providing an address to a particular sector of the memory to read data therefrom. | 2009-03-05 |
20090063703 | Device profile-based media management - A server configured to provide media to devices remote from the server is configured to provide different media to different devices at substantially a same time. The is server configured to recognize a device that requests media. The server is configured to automatically set a resolution at which a media is provided to the device based on the recognition of the device. | 2009-03-05 |
20090063704 | SYSTEMS & METHODS FOR STATISTICAL RESOLUTION OF DOMAIN NAME SERVICE (DNS) REQUESTS - Systems and methods are provided for resolving domain name services (DNS) queries for address information about hosts on a network. The queries are posited from remote users across a satellite or other remote link to a network, and are monitored as they pass through a central node logically present between the remote link and the network. A list of statistically significant hosts on the network is maintained and transmitted from the central node to the plurality of remote users across the remote link. By providing the remote nodes with a current list of popular hosts and associated address information, subsequent domain name services queries placed for the statistically significant hosts may be resolved without communicating across the remote link. | 2009-03-05 |
20090063705 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF SENDING COMPRESSED HTML MESSAGES OVER TELEPHONY PROTOCOL - A system and method for sending compressed html messages and, more particularly, a system and method for sending compressed html messages over a telephony protocol. the method comprises compressing an html message and sending the compressed html message via a telephony protocol. The compressed html message is sent as an SMS message and the telephony protocol is SS7 protocol, bypassing TCP/IP. The compressed html message can be coded with a return number, forcing a return message to be sent via a text message over SS7 protocol. The system and method includes a computer infrastructure operable to compress an html message and send the compressed html message such as and SMS message via a telephony protocol. A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having readable program code embodied in the medium for performing the processes is also contemplated. | 2009-03-05 |
