Abstract: A transmission method for multiple TCP sessions with the same host including methods for congestion control and retransmission of lost segments.

Abstract: A method for managing TCP sessions with a mobile device. A loopback proxy is configured within the mobile device to re-direct HTTP requests by the mobile device to a remote server back to the mobile device. The proxy accepts the local TCP connection initiated by the mobile device, extracts address and port information for the remote server from the HTTP request, then communicates with the remote server on behalf of the mobile device in order to open a remote TCP connection. The proxy then fuses the streams of the local TCP connection with those of the remote TCP connection.

Abstract: A method and system for stateful handling of packets in a network are described. In a client-server network environment, the stateful inspection of incoming protocols is offloaded from the server and distributed to the client device. The stateful inspection, as well as the provisioning of the client with the necessary functions required by the handlers, is referred to as Client Assisted Application Level Gateway (ALG). This version of ALG, in which the client performs or assists the server by performing at least some of the inspection and provisioning tasks, allows for a marked performance gain to the network gateway by reducing its packet inspection load.
