Abstract: Systems and methods suitable for assisting data storage on a solid-state mass storage device by furthering interaction between a host and the solid-state mass storage device. The method includes providing data in a target block from a solid-state mass storage device to a host computer system, analyzing the data to identify valid and invalid data of the data in the target block with the host computer system, removing the invalid data, reformatting the valid data into a new data structure with the host computer system, writing the new data structure to the mass storage device, and marking the data in the target block as invalid.

Abstract: A method, system and platform hub for content aware routing of data, the platform hub comprising: a processor port for bidirectional data communication with a processing platform; at least one network ports for bidirectional data communication with at least one corresponding network agents; and at least one content aware units configured for performing content aware classification of data incoming into the platform hub, wherein the platform hub is configured for routing data to a suitable destination based on the content aware classification. The method for content aware routing of data comprises: receiving in a platform hub a data packet sent from a network towards a processing platform; performing a content aware classification in the platform hub; and routing the data packet based on the content aware classification.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling traffic in a packet-based communication system is disclosed. A number indicative of the source of a request packet may be modified to receive a shifted source number which may be, according to embodiments of the invention, in an unused shifted range of source numbers. A destination number in a received packet may be extracted and if it is in the shifted range of port numbers that packet may be determined as a response packet, the shifted port number may be un-shifted back and its restored value may be used to direct that packet to the device which issued the request, substantially without having to extract any additional information from the packet.
