  • Patent number: 7640357
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for buffering enterprise messages are described herein. In one embodiment, an exemplary process is provided to transmit, from a messaging server to a client, a first message indicating a size of a next enterprise message to be sent to the client. A second message is received from the client in response to the first message, where the second message indicates a buffer size available to store messages for the client. The next enterprise message is then delivered to the buffer of the client if the size of the next enterprise message is smaller than or equal to the size of the available buffer of the client. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.

  • Publication number: 20050262205
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for delivering enterprise messages in an enterprise computing environment are described herein. In one embodiment, an exemplary process is provided to determine, at a first node hosting a topic published by a producer, one or more groups of subscribers subscribing to the topic based on similarity of the subscribers. For each of messages associated with the topic, the respective message is delivered once to a second node associated with one of the one or more groups of the subscribers, where the second node distributes the respective message to each of the subscribers of the respective group individually without again invoking the first node. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.
