  • Publication number: 20160283307
    Abstract: A monitoring device executes: aggregating a number of messages for each type of message transmitted or received at nodes using test results; classifying the respective messages into either an original message that serves as an origin among messages transmitted and received by a system to be monitored, or a generated message that is generated in the system when the original message is transmitted to any of the plurality of nodes; analyzing a relationship between the original message and the generated message on the basis of a number of messages classified as the original message and a number of messages classified as the generated message, thereby creating a matrix indicating the relationship between the original message and the generated message; and determining that the system has undergone a failure if a value of an element inside the matrix is outside of a normal range.

  • Patent number: 9001650
    Abstract: An apparatus for terminating and replaying transmission control protocol (TCP) communication between a server and cellular phone is disclosed. The TCP relay apparatus performs precise control for each TCP connection in the process of executing default TCP transmission control for the server and performing wireless-optimized TCP transmission control for the cell phone while facilitating setup for determination of the type of a network to which a communication destination terminal belongs. The TCP relay apparatus includes a unit capable of setting TCP control information suitable for the characteristics of a network linked to the destination device on a per-TCP connection basis, a unit which enables an application program to instruct the TCP control information setting, and a unit which determines the network type by judging whether the connection is a passive connection to a listen port or a TCP connection to the server.

  • Patent number: 8543692
    Abstract: The disclosed DNS server apparatus monitors whether each service providing server apparatus is active or inactive and collects load information. When the monitored apparatus is active but congested or is unable to offer services, a virtual IP address assigned to a Sorry server apparatus is sent back as a response. When service providing server apparatuses in active state are congested or unable to provide services, the DNS server apparatus sends a server activation instruction and an IP addresses for services to the service providing server apparatuses on standby to activate them. Each service providing server apparatus on standby activates server software in response to the server activation instruction and assigns the received IP address to a network interface as a virtual IP address, thus activating the interface.

  • Patent number: 8099510
    Abstract: A communication system in which, even when an HTTP session is disconnected from a mobile device, the HTTP session can be continued or a response from a Web server can be returned to a user, without installing a special application in the mobile device. A load-distributable system is provided for realizing such operation. To that end, in a communication system having a relay device that relays a request from a portable telephone terminal (110) to a Web server (120), the relay device (130) relays a processing request from the portable telephone terminal (110) to the Web server, and stores a processing response from the Web server. The relay device (130) sends the portable telephone terminal a message to the effect that the processing response should be acquired from the relay device (130) or a message with the processing response added.

  • Patent number: 7680931
    Abstract: In a service system including client apparatuses for issuing a service request and server apparatuses for receiving a service request and providing service, there is provided a data relaying apparatus for relaying data communication between them. In response to a service request, the data relaying apparatus establishes a connection from the client apparatus to the server apparatus (destination). The data relaying apparatus relays data communication between the client apparatus and the server apparatus by using the established connection. The data relaying apparatus manages a number of connections established to each of the server apparatuses. In response to a service request, the data relaying apparatus accepts or refuses the service request so as to make a number of connections to the server apparatus equal to or less than a predetermined number, and notifies a user refused relaying of a service request that relaying is possible.

  • Publication number: 20090216894
    Abstract: The present invention provides an e-mail-based chat system that is available from a terminal without a push architecture and can be used with an existing server. The invention relates to a relay apparatus to be installed on communication lines between terminals and servers consisting of a transmission server and a retrieval server. The relay apparatus puts on hold data retrieval requests received from the terminals without relaying the data retrieval requests to the retrieval server and withholds responses to the terminals. When the relay apparatus receives chat message data from a terminal, it relays the data to the transmission server. Right after the relaying of the data, the relay apparatus acquires the data from the transmission server via the retrieval server and creates response data from the acquired data, thus responding to the data retrieval requests on hold with the response data.

  • Publication number: 20090165115
    Abstract: A large-scale content delivery system may be achieved, which may send a large amount of contents without intensive management of the contents in the server. In a service providing system where a client, a service gateway, and a server are connected to each other through a network, the client sends a first message to the server by way of the service gateway. The service gateway inquires a processing method of the first message from the client of the server by using a second message that includes a part of the first message content. The server replies to the inquiry of the processing method from the service gateway with a program that describes the processing method, and the service gateway processes the first message from the client on the basis of the received processing method.
