Publication number: 20190052571Abstract: A network arbiter and associated method for linking and controlling the rate of data transmission between a sender on a connected network and a client with an advertised receive window are disclosed. The network arbiter comprises a downstream temporary storage for temporarily storing data in transmission from the sender to the client, an upstream temporary storage for temporarily storing data in transmission from the client to the sender and a processor operatively connected to the downstream temporary storage and the upstream temporary storage. The processor is configured to alter the advertised receive window in order to modulate the rate of data transmission.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2018Publication date: February 14, 2019Inventors: Miika Anttoni Klemetti, Yuri Nebogatov, Matthew Robert Williams

Publication number: 20190007235Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2018Publication date: January 3, 2019Inventors: Shane Daniel Barnes, Matthew Robert Williams, Miika Anttoni Klemetti, Vijayendran Mahendran, Uri Nebogatov, Mohan Krishna Vemulapali

Patent number: 9893836Abstract: 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: July 20, 2012Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: LiveQoS Inc.Inventor: Matthew Robert Williams
