Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for facilitating the process of undoing and redoing modifications that are made to content using an online content management system (CMS). As a user makes changes to content, such as by editing a webpage using a web-based CMS, a history of the user's modifications is generated and stored locally on the client. When the user invokes an undo command, the modification history can be used to determine a previous state of the content and restore the content to that previous state. Similarly, when the user invokes a redo command, the modification history can be used to return to a state that had previously been undone. In some embodiments, the process of undoing or redoing the user's modifications is selectively performed on either a client side or a server side of the online system, depending on the type of content that is being manipulated.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing the cost but increasing the performance caused in streaming data between a client and a server are described herein. Embodiments of the present invention relate to reducing the cost but increasing the performance by the traditional data streaming where two TCP connections, one for each direction of traffic is used. Further embodiments allow a server in communication with one or more clients using a RPC based communication protocol to bi-directional stream not on two TCP connections but a single TCP connection. In one embodiment, this is achieved by transmitting from the client to the server an initial handshake. If the server receives the handshake, then the client streams a request stream to the server and the server streams a response stream to the client simultaneously over the same single TCP connection establishing full-duplex streaming.

In one embodiment, a state model is used to determine the frequency of measurement and to determine when the measurements have produced a stable estimate of the link quality.

Abstract: In one embodiment, in response to a list of a plurality of fingerprints representing data chunks to be replicated from a source storage system to a target storage system over a network, one of the fingerprints is selected as a representative fingerprint that matches selection criteria. The source storage system generates a fingerprint representation for each of the fingerprints that is smaller than the corresponding fingerprint. The representative fingerprint and the fingerprint representations are transmitted to the target storage system over the network, without transmitting all full fingerprints of the data chunks, to allow the target storage system identifying which of the data chunks are missing. In response to information received from the target storage system indicating one or more data chunks that are missing at the target storage system, the missing data chunks are then transmitted to the target storage system.
