Abstract: A data packet communication system is described, which can be implemented as a physical push based data packet communication device, such as a router, a gateway, or a controller circuit coupled to a router or a gateway adapted for controlling data packet communications. The data packet communication system is adapted to evaluate network capacity of each of the multiple networks at the time of a monitored communication event and assigns data packets accordingly.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer implemented method for assessing network bandwidth availability in a network connection having unknown excess capacity beyond an initial network capacity is provided. There are two cases to be considered: (1) the network has a given capacity and the system doesn't know what it is (e.g., on a cellular network) this capacity may change over time as more users use the network and/or a user is mobile, and (2) the system is assigned capacity but by pushing the network, the system may be able to get more capacity (e.g., on a satellite hub). The excess capacity may be quantified for future potential opportunistic, emergency or priority usage, or in some embodiments, utilized periodically or continuously.

Abstract: An improved data packet communications approach is described that is adapted for communications across unreliable connections. In particular, the approach can be implemented as systems and methods for a networked router device configured to monitor communication characteristics and to group the connections into various tiers based on their communication reliability data. When a new packet is to be communicated, the grouped connections are utilized in aggregate to meet a target transmission reliability probability (e.g., target value or a band of values).

Abstract: A system for managing data packet delivery flow where one or more data packets are being communicated across a set of multi-path network links, is described in various embodiments, the system adapted to monitor an aggregated throughput being provided through the set of multi-path network links operating together and to conduct packet spacing operations by modifying characteristics corresponding to at least one data packet of the one or more data packets based at least on the monitored aggregated throughput such that if the one or more data packets are being communicated at a faster rate than the monitored aggregated throughput, the one or more data packets are delayed such that the one or more data packets appear to be communicated at a required pace.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for detecting plagiarism in Arabic texts including any rewording, reordering of words and phrases, and any pronoun changes. Such detection is achieved by returning all the Arabic words in the text to its original root using a stemmer, then comparing all the sentences in the submitted document with every sentence in all original documents. In the method of the present invention, the user has the ability to choose the source of plagiarism, wherein such source comprises a database, a web, or a direct matching.
