In one example, the document is sent by the communication device that is sharing the document to a document server for processing into pages of one or more different document types, and both communication devices retrieve the stored pages as needed for display. The sharing communication device updates the other communication device when a new page is to be retrieved from the document server.

Abstract: For improved peer to peer matchmaking network information is obtained from a plurality of devices and a plurality of users is selected to form peer to peer connections via corresponding devices to create a set of potential matches. Device connection statistics for each pair of devices in the set of potential matches are obtained and compared to one or more threshold values. Users with devices that have at least one connection statistic that does not satisfy a threshold condition for that connection statistic are removed from the set of potential matches. Replacements for the removed devices are selected and the match making refinement process repeated until all of the device connection statistics satisfy all conditions associated with the one or more threshold values to generate a refined set of matched peers. Peer to peer connections may then be initiated among the refined set of matched peers.

Abstract: A UDP protocol acceleration system includes a client terminal, an acceleration server, and a source station. The client terminal includes a local proxy at the application layer and one or more local applications to be accelerated, and a network filter at the IP layer. The local proxy identifies redirection requests from different local applications among requests received and, for each redirection request, queries an original destination address, and encapsulates and sends the original destination address and the redirection request to the acceleration server. The acceleration server parses the original destination, acts as a proxy for the redirection request, and sends a response back to the local proxy. The local proxy, after receiving the response from the acceleration server, queries acceleration records, and forwards the response to a corresponding local application.

Abstract: A service-oriented modular system architecture. The service-oriented modular system architecture has plugins and an application programming interface (API) Nexus. The plugins abstract different functions in servers into pluggable business modules. Any numbers of API dispatchers can be registered on the API Nexus so that one business module in the plugins dynamically exposes the services, which can be provided at present, to other business modules in the plugins in a manner of API. Different functions in the server application are independently abstracted into different pluggable business modules, the separating effect of respectively encapsulating and separating different functions to obtain subservices is achieved, and different business modules are allowed to expose interfaces with each other for use.

Abstract: A data replication system has a chassis including a plurality of eSSDs, a fabrics switch, and a baseboard management controller (BMC). The BMC configures one of the plurality of eSSDs as an active eSSD and one or more of the plurality of eSSDs as one or more passive eSSDs. The fabrics switch of the chassis is programmed to forward packets destined for the active eSSD to both the active eSSD and the one or more passive eSSDs. In response to a host data write command received from the host, the active eSSD stores the host data and sends an address and an instruction corresponding to the host data to the one or more passive eSSDs. Each of the one or more passive eSSDs stores a copy of the host data using the address and the instruction received from the active eSSD and the host data received in the packets forwarded by the fabrics switch.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for dynamically allocating host resources (e.g., CPUs, GPUs, etc.) to virtual machines (VMs) on host devices in a provider network. The host devices may be provisioned with quantities of each resource type. Customers may request different combinations and quantities of resources for their VMs. Upon receiving a placement request for a VM, a host device is located that can provide a requested combination and quantity of resources for the VM. The host can then be directed to attach at least the requested combination and quantity of host resources to the VM. Future demand for VMs with particular combinations and quantities of resources can be predicted, and logical slots can be predefined in the control plane in anticipation of that demand. If a customer's VM is provided with more resources than requested, the customer may release or sell the extra resources.
