Abstract: Point-in-time actions are leveraged between computers that receive the same asynchronous electronic message. A point-in-time action is performed at a first receiving computer in response to receipt of an asynchronous electronic message. The point-in-time action results in an action alert, which is transmitted to a second receiving computer that also received the asynchronous electronic message.

Abstract: A pseudo peer-to-peer network system including several clients, each adapted to execute a path driver program. A path driver program is provided, including the steps of locating storage peers connected to the network via a network interface for storing or accessing data items provided in memories of storage peers by means of a global address table. The global address table is updated periodically by at least one configuration server of the pseudo peer-to-peer network. The network further includes at least one time server, which generates a global time clock to which local time clocks of all storage peers of the pseudo peer-to-peer network are synchronized such that a global address table updated by the configuration server is activated by all storage peers at the same scheduled time to be consistent throughout the pseudo peer-to-peer network at all times.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for detecting Network Anomaly in network architectures based on locator/identifier split, the detection flow is as follows: initialization processing, and in ITR: processing data packets, sending a Map-Request, determining whether to send an additional Map-Request, sending the data packet, processing the Map_Reply, processing EID-to-RLOC Cache entry expired; in ETR: processing data packet, processing Map-Request, determining whether the traffic of the ITR currently sending the Map-Request is abnormal, replying to the ITR of which the query traffic is abnormal, replying to ITR of which the query traffic is abnormal. With respect to the characteristic that the network architecture based on locator/identifier split needs to query the relationship between the locator and the identifier for packet delivery, the present invention detects Network Anomaly based on query traffic instead of network data packet traffic.

Abstract: Tunneling is a mechanism used to aggregate payloads from a network protocol at or below the tunneling layer into a single packet. A user-space application establishes a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) tunnel and encapsulates an end-to-end TCP payload into a TCP segment for transmission over a TCP connection. This enhanced TCP tunnel eliminates TCP meltdown and can be used over any network which supports TCP. The calling application either identifies the parameters of an existing TCP socket or establishes a new TCP socket. A modified transport layer uses the identified TCP connection in forming the enhanced TCP tunnel. The enhanced TCP tunnel manages the data transmission on the TCP stack to eliminate TCP meltdown.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for deleting session information in Diameter Routing Agent, this method comprises: sending a request message for deleting the Diameter session to a visited Diameter Routing Agent DRA and a visited policy and charging rules function PCRF by a policy and charging control client; after the visited DRA receives the request message, the visited DRA marking the Diameter session as termination in the visited DRA; after the visited PCRF receives the request message, the visited PCRF sending a message requesting to delete the Diameter session information to a home DRA, the home DRA marking the Diameter session in the home DRA as termination. In the present invention, the session information in the DRA may be effectively deleted when the BBERF entity, the PCEF entity or the AF entity terminates the Diameter session between the local and the PCRF entities.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a system and a method for presenting streaming media content delivered through a peer-to-peer overlay network. During operation, a data-transfer mechanism sends requests to a plurality of peer nodes to receive data for streaming media content. The system stores received data for the streaming media content into a buffer. Next, a server local to a media presentation mechanism serves the buffered data to a media presentation mechanism. The server controls the data serving in response to a signal received from the media-presentation mechanism.

Abstract: A method for providing a user terminal with an application, which is customized in respect of user-specific parameters and terminal-specific properties. An application server stores a template for the customized application and a feature set for each of several terminal types; receives a request (2-2) for creation of the customized application, and determines the user-specific parameters based on the request; sends the user terminal a data message (2-10) which triggers a request (2-14) from the user terminal; determines the user terminal's type based on the request (2-14); determines the terminal-specific properties based on the determined type; creates the customized application based on the template, the user-specific parameters and the terminal-specific properties; inserts the customized application into a set of delivery files for a data communication system and transmits (2-26) the set of delivery files to the user terminal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and data transfer arrangement for executing consecutive instructions in a client device (21) in a mobile device management server-client device environment (22, 21). The invention also relates to an instruction execution module utilized in the implementation of the method. In the procedure according to the invention, the device management server (22) forms the instructions to be executed in the client device (21) into an instruction sequence (200), which is transmitted to the client device (21). The instruction execution module in the client device breaks up the instruction sequence into command sequences and control structures. The instruction execution module executes the conditional commands belonging to the instruction sequence and specified by the control structures individually without the help of the device management server (22).

Abstract: A peer-to-peer collaboration system in which changes to a shared space may be broadcast to all of the peers in a collaboration session using messages sent with a combination of addressing techniques. Messages may be addressed for direct peer-to-peer transmission, indirect transmission through another peer or indirect transmission through a server. The type of addressing used to communicate with each peer is determined through the use of a routing table. The routing table defines interconnected groups of peers and may be used to select one or more peers in each group as the initial recipients of the message. The initial recipients may forward the message to other peers within their groups, such that all peers receive the message. For peers behind a NAT, one or more NAT traversal techniques may be used to obtain information to construct the routing table.

Abstract: As exterior routing protocols generally do not provide information about the internal routing paths of an autonomous system, a particular autonomous system has limited information about the internal health of other autonomous systems. However, if a monitoring system has access to routing data and/or other network data from multiple points of an autonomous system, the monitoring system can estimate, with some accuracy, the health of the autonomous system. In turn, by monitoring at least some of autonomous systems forming a larger internetwork, such as the Internet, the monitoring system can estimate the overall health of at least portions of the internetwork.

The service sharing feature allows one device to control and use shared hardware or software functionalities provided by other devices in the network.

Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for screen painting updates on a client display to reflect changes in a remote server display. According to a method embodiment, an FBUR is sent from a virtual network computing (VNC) client through a network connection to the VNC server. The FBUR requests the VNC server to identify changes in a display of the VNC server. An FBU is received from the VNC server at the VNC client. The FBU identifies changes in the display of the VNC server. A screen painting algorithm implemented by the VNC client to update a display of the VNC client is dynamically modified based on a speed of the network connection. The display of the VNC client is updated using the screen painting algorithm.
