  • Communication system and method employing parallel connections to send messages
    Patent number: 12289375
    Abstract: A system and method is presented for sending a message between devices in a communication network. The system includes a first processor and a first memory in communication with the first processor. The first processor executes instructions stored in the first memory to divide the message into a plurality of segments according to a first procedure and assign a respective sequence number to each segment, and to construct a plurality of packets. Each packet comprises a payload and a header. The payload comprises at least one segment. The first processor further establishes a plurality of parallel socket connections, each to a second processor, and passes respective packets to respective parallel socket connections. The parallel socket connections are selected according to a second procedure, for transmission to the second processor until a determined number of segments has been successfully received and processed by the second processor.
