Patent number: 11729024Abstract: A system transports a plurality of UDP datagrams from a sending application to a receiving application by creating a TCP tunnel between a TCP sending-end and a TCP receiving-end, encapsulating the datagrams in TCP packets at the TCP transmitting-end, transmitting the TCP packets via the TCP tunnel to the TCP receiving-end over a network using a TCP/IP protocol, and extracting the datagrams from the TCP packet and forwarding the extracted datagrams to the receiving application. The TCP tunnel may provide the same delay and responsiveness as UDP protocol. The TCP receiving-end may detect when a packet is missing and request retransmission when a packet is missing, so that the TCP sending-end retransmits the missing packets. The transmitting of TCP packets to the TCP receiving-end continues when the receiving-end detects a missing packet, so that there is no lag in the forwarding of the extracted datagrams. Retransmitted packets may be discarded.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Adaptiv Networks Inc.Inventors: Shane Daniel Barnes, Matthew Robert Williams, Miika Anttoni Klemetti, Vijayendran Mahendran, Uri Nebogatov, Mohan Krishna Vemulapali

Patent number: 11445052Abstract: Systems and methods for transporting data between two endpoints over an encoded channel are disclosed. Data transmission units (data units) from the source network are received at an encoding component logically located between the endpoints. These first data units are subdivided into second data units and are transmitted to the destination network over the transport network. Also transmitted are encoded or extra second data units that allow the original first data units to be recreated even if some of the second data units are lost. These encoded second data units may be merely copies of the second data units transmitted, parity second data units, or second data units which have been encoded using erasure correcting coding. At the receiving endpoint, the second data units are received and are used to recreate the original first data units.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2015Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Adaptiv Networks Inc.Inventors: Matthew Robert Williams, Mohan Krishna Vemulapali

Patent number: 10951743Abstract: A method of forwarding data transmissions from a first network to a third network via a second network comprises receiving packets of a first type from the first network, segmenting each packet into packets of a second type that are transmitted to the second network, and producing and transmitting at least one encoded duplicate of each of the packets of a second type to the second network to allow a packet of the first type to be recreated in the event that not all the packets of the second type are received. In the event that a sufficient number of the packets of a second type and the encoded duplicate packets are not received to recreate the packet of a first type, the method determines a loss ratio that represents the number of packets not recreated relative to the number of packets transmitted during a selected time interval.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2011Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: ADAPTIV NETWORKS INC.Inventors: Matthew Robert Williams, Mohan Krishna Vemulapali
