Abstract: A system and method is provided for configuring compatibility algorithms for testing compatibility of applications with a platform. The method is performed by one or more processors and comprises attaching compatibility algorithms associated with compatibility applications with meta data or executable code. The method also comprises receiving a request for determining which compatibility algorithms are compatible with a platform, wherein the request includes one or more attributes of the platform. The method further comprises comparing the one or more attributes of the platform with the attached meta data or attached executable code, and identifying at least one compatibility algorithm based on the comparison such that the identified compatibility algorithm determines whether to run the identified compatibility algorithm.

Abstract: Systems and methods for utilizing transaction boundary detection methods in queuing and retransmission decisions relating to network traffic are described. By detecting transaction boundaries and sizes, a client, server, or intermediary device may prioritize based on transaction sizes in queuing decisions, giving precedence to smaller transactions which may represent interactive and/or latency-sensitive traffic. Further, after detecting a transaction boundary, a device may retransmit one or more additional packets prompting acknowledgements, in order to ensure timely notification if the last packet of the transaction has been dropped. Systems and methods for potentially improving network latency, including retransmitting a dropped packet twice or more in order to avoid incurring additional delays due to a retransmitted packet being lost are also described.
