Abstract: A network device includes a network interface, a host interface and processing circuitry. The network interface is configured to connect to a communication network. The host interface is configured to connect to a host including a host processor running a client process. The processing circuitry is configured to receive packets originating from a peer process, to identify, in at least some of the received packets, application level information that is exchanged between the client process and the peer process, and to initiate reporting of one or more of the received packets to the client process, based on the application level information.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for creating an ultra-lightweight multi-tenant network virtualization model by augmenting an OSI layer 4 tuple (protocol, source IP address, destination IP address, source port, destination port) with additional private gateway-specific source and destination augmented addresses. A unique OpenVPN Augmented Address (OAA) may be created and assigned to each device on a network such as a mesh-linked system. This OAA may form part of a packet shim created with routing path information for both the source and the destination resources. Once created, the shim may be inserted into a packet header for transmission. Once the initial packet is transmitted, each hop creates its own resources for managing transmission of subsequent packets in this session. The packet shim operates to establish a communications session on layer 4 (Transport) between the requestor and the target resource which is intermediate-device agnostic.

Abstract: An online meeting system begins the process of connecting a user to an online meeting when the user enters a prejoin dialog for choosing meeting settings, rather than waiting until the user chooses to actually join the meeting after entering settings. Starting the meeting connection process at this time allows a shorter perceived connection time to the meeting and thus reduces user frustration with the meeting system.
