Abstract: A packet forwarding device and a system using same are provided. The packet forwarding device includes a datapath forwarding hardware unit for processing a first set of packets matching a first set of rules of a rules table. The packet forwarding device further includes a datapath forwarding software unit for generating or modifying the rules table and for processing a second set of packets matching a second set of rules of the rules table and applying a service to the second set of packets.

Abstract: A network device to mitigate interruptions in content downloading from a content server to a client device in a client-server network is disclosed. The device includes a recovery module (RM) to migrate a data transfer connection from a first server to a second server responsive to detection of an interruption in data transfer from the first server. The migrated data transfer connection may include an instruction associated with an amount of data transferred prior to the interruption in data transfer.

Abstract: Systems and devices for enabling any network functionality client or server in a HTML5 application. A Network Entity running as a HTML5 Application (NEHA) is for use in a system comprising a HTTP server, a network entity (NE) and a mirror network entity (MNE). The MNE is a mirror instance of the NE and a desired network protocol is run between the MNE and the NE. The NEHA includes a processor configured to create a first request for requesting the MNE, wherein the first request indicates the desired network protocol, send the first request to the HTTP server, receive a first response indicating the MNE from the HTTP server, process the first response, and communicate with the NE through the MNE using the desired network protocol.

Abstract: An optical port routing enclosure and programmable NIC card as well as cluster topologies leveraging same are provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for detecting and preventing the intrusion of malicious data flows in a software defined network (SDN). The system comprises at least one data storage or memory, configured to store flow states of data flows, and to share and update the flow states across the system, at least one shared-state forwarding element (FE) configured to block, forward, or replicate a received data flow based on a flow state of the data flow and/or a comparison of the data flow with predetermined patterns, and at least one inspection element (IE), configured to receive a replicated data flow, and to classify, whether the data flow is malicious or allowed. The IE is configured to alter the flow state of the data flow according to a classification result. The present disclosure provides a corresponding method for detecting and preventing intrusion of malicious data flows in a SDN.

Abstract: A system for offloading information transfer between a client and a server in a communications network is disclosed. The system includes a network agent to issue a data transfer offload command responsive to receiving a TCP (transmission control protocol) splice command from an application proxy. The system additionally includes a network controller to offload data transfer from a kernel space to a network responsive to the data transfer offload command.

Abstract: The invention relates to a server for providing a graphical user interface to a client over a communication network. The graphical user interface comprises a graphical user interface element, the graphical user interface element being formed by an element shape and an element text, the element shape being represented by element shape data, the element text being represented by element text data. The server comprises an encoder configured to encode the element shape data into video data, a detector configured to detect a change associated with the graphical user interface element within the graphical user interface, and a communication interface configured to separately transmit the video data and the element text data over the communication network, the element text data being transmitted upon detection of the change associated with the graphical user interface element for providing the graphical user interface to the client.
