  • Patent number: 8732258
    Abstract: A method for transporting telemetry data involves receiving a request from a client in a first network. The client is registered with a data transport service executing in a second network. The request includes an authentication credential for the client, a message including telemetry data, and a message priority. The method further involves authenticating the request using the authentication credential. The method further involves parsing the request to obtain and subsequently execute a command for storing the message in a physical queue of the second network. The physical queue is associated with a back-end service executing in the second network. A virtual queue maintains entries for messages stored in the physical queue that were sent from the first network to the second network. Another virtual queue maintains entries for messages stored in the physical queue that were sent from the second network to the first network.

  • Publication number: 20020082927
    Abstract: An intelligent caching router (ICR) balances the cost-saving and functionality-enhancing benefits of the application-service-provider (ASP) model of software delivery against the inherent risks of relying on networked computing. In so doing, the ICR makes the ASP model practical for services that require extremely high levels of reliability and availability. The ICR is inserted functionally between a (thin) client and the network (i.e., Internet, intranet or extranet) and performs certain operations, including the logging of “mission-critical” application state data; network connectivity monitoring; traditional backup routing features; mission-critical server emulation; and server resynchronization upon reconnection. When networking problems are detected, the ICR initially takes steps to try and restore connectivity. In taking such actions, the ICR is largely behaving as a traditional intelligent network router.
