Patent number: 10931775Abstract: A method and apparatus for dynamic network link acceleration provides a managed communication link for accelerated and reliable network communication between a client and other network devices. In one or more embodiments, a client computing device which generates communication packets of a first type is enhanced with a front end mechanism which selectively encodes the data packets into packets of a second type. The data packets which are encoded into a second type are transmitted over a managed communication link which may provide error correction, security, quality of service, and other services including acceleration of communications.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2019Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Circadence CorporationInventors: Gary D. Morton, Paul R. Thornton, Ryan Pressley, Robert John Shaughnessy, Mark Vange, Marc Plumb, Michael Kouts, Glenn Sydney Wilson

Patent number: 10858503Abstract: A peer to peer dynamic network acceleration method and apparatus provide enhanced communications directly between two or more enhanced devices, such as enhanced clients. The enhanced clients may comprise a front-end, a back-end, or both. In general, the front-end and back-end of the enhanced clients work in concert to translate data into an enhanced protocol for communication between the enhanced clients. The enhanced protocol may provide acceleration, security, error correction, and other benefits. Data from various applications may be seamlessly translated between a first protocol and the enhanced protocol, such that the applications need not be modified to use the enhanced protocol. The enhanced clients may automatically detect one another to establish an enhanced communications channel automatically.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Circadence CorporationInventors: Mark Vange, Mark Plumb, Michael Kouts, Glenn Sydney Wilson, Paul Randy Thornton, Marlin Popeye McFate, Robert John Shaughnessy

Patent number: 10819826Abstract: A system and method for implementing functionality within a network on behalf of first and second devices communicating with each other through the network. A front-end device is provided within the network that communicates data traffic with the first device. A back-end device is also implemented within the network and communicates data traffic with the second device. A communication channel couples the front-end device and the back-end device. Data traffic may be encoded into a different type or protocol for transport through the communication channel by the front-end device and back-end device. The front-end device and back-end device exchange quality of service information and may alter characteristics of the data traffic through the communication channel according to the quality of service information.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2018Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Circadence CorporationInventors: Mark Vange, Mark Plumb, Michael Kouts, Glenn Sydney Wilson
