Abstract: Data traffic is scheduled by, in a first scheduler, selecting a source of traffic from a plurality of sources of traffic, each source being associated with a second scheduler, in a second scheduler associated with the selected source of traffic, selecting a type of traffic from a plurality of types of traffic within the source selected by the first scheduler, and transmitting data of the selected type and source. Identifying and creating tunnels between endpoints in a network for optimum data traffic method and apparatus.

Abstract: A communication device integrates traffic monitoring, policy configuration and enforcement, and proxy services within the device. The policies can affect both prioritization of data as well as allocation of communication bandwidth. Data packets that are accepted at the device are classified according to a set of defined classes and are transmitted through the device according to a policy for prioritization and bandwidth allocation for the classes. Optionally, some of the packets are passed to a proxy application hosted in the communication device. The device functions as a link-layer bridge, thereby allowing the device to be inserted into a data path without reconfiguring network layer software at devices that use that data path. The device includes operating modes in which packets are passed through the device without modification.

Abstract: A method of managing bandwidth including receiving packets on an input port, classifying the packets in a classification engine, processing the packets in a processing engine, queuing the packets in a queuing engine, and scheduling the packets on an output port.

Abstract: A system for presenting dynamic content to a user of a client device is implemented in a method including the steps of presenting a requested data object to the user; and automatically presenting dynamic content to the user in addition to the presentation of the requested data object, wherein the dynamic content includes information provided by a dynamic executable module running on the client device.
