Abstract: A physical host executes a virtual machine monitor (VMM) that instantiates a source virtual machine (VM). In response to the VMM receiving from the source VM a packet specifying a first destination address of a destination VM and a second destination address of a default gateway, the VMM determines whether the packet can be communicated to the destination VM without the packet being routed by the default gateway. In response to the VMM determining that the packet can be communicated to the destination VM without the packet being routed by the default gateway, the VMM forwards the packet to the destination VM such that the packet bypasses routing by the default gateway.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and methods are provided for establishing and supporting a VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) call from one computing/communication device to another. The system receives a call offer from a caller, forwards it to the callee, and identifies to each party multiple candidate relay entities for relaying their digitized voice communications. Each device binds with one or all relays, and either or both of them select one of the relays to use in a relay mode of operation of the call, if necessary. One or more of the relays inform the devices of their external network addresses, and each device passes its (internal and external) addresses to each other, through the system. The devices attempt to establish a direct connection to conduct their call in a peer-to-peer mode of operation, but may dynamically switch between peer-to-peer and relay modes as necessary.

Abstract: A base station forms a wireless communication area in a radio access network, and a radio device transmits a connection request to the base station. The radio device sets a specific signal sequence in the connection request. The base station stores an attach request for registering a radio device in the radio access network, and receives the connection request including the specific signal sequence from the radio device located in the wireless communication area. In response to the detection of the specific signal sequence, the base station transmits the attach request to a higher-level network node before receiving, from the radio device, another attach request that is scheduled to be received after the detection of the specific signal sequence.

Abstract: A system, computer-implemented method and computer program performs heartbeat messaging for managing connections for data communications. In one example method, an indication of a problem associated with a connection for data communication in a computing system or network is received. In response to receiving the indication, a heartbeat message is sent over the connection. The method monitors for a heartbeat response to the heartbeat message within a predefined heartbeat time interval. If a heartbeat response is received within the predefined heartbeat time interval, the method determines that the indication of a problem associated with the connection is invalid. If a heartbeat response is not received within the predefined heartbeat time interval, the method determines that the indication of a problem associated with the connection is valid.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus which allow a wireless terminal (302) to simultaneously maintain connections with multiple base stations (304, 306) are described. Each wireless terminal (302) is capable of supporting multiple separate timing and/or other control loops one, for each base station connection thereby allowing the connections to operate independently and in parallel. Different control signals and/or data are transmitted on each connection that is established with a base station (302, 306). In this manner base stations (302, 306) receive different data allowing for asynchronous data transmission. The data received by the base stations (302, 306) can be supplied to a wired asynchronous network (308) without the need to combine the received data prior to supplying it to the wired network (308). The communications techniques of the invention can be used to implement soft handoffs without the need to duplicate data transmissions to multiple base stations.
