Patent number: 9667545Abstract: A virtual link bandwidth control scheme is described that is a software-based mechanism for achieving distributed and coordinated bandwidth control. The scheme can be seamlessly integrated with the data transfer protocols utilizing queuing delay as part of rate control mechanism for data transfer and allows multiple processes to self-limit their transfer speeds, so that the aggregate rate stabilizes at a pre-configured level below the physical bottleneck capacity.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2007Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Ying Xu, Michelle Christine Munson, Serban Simu

Patent number: 9419907Abstract: Described is an I/O driven, feedback based rate control mechanism that allows a transfer session to self-adjust its transfer rate in response to the speed of the storage device at the destination. The described system may operate at the application layer, which makes cross-platform deployment an easier task.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2016Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Michelle Christine Munson, Serban Simu, Ying Xu

Patent number: 8996945Abstract: This disclosure relates to network data communication. Some embodiments include initiating a network connection between an original source and an ultimate destination, transmitting a block of data from the original source to the ultimate destination on the network, requesting retransmission of lost blocks from the ultimate destination to the source and retransmitting the lost blocks from source to the ultimate destination. These embodiments further include measuring round-trip time of a retransmit request, the round-trip time measured from a time of transmission of a retransmit request from the ultimate destination to a time of reception at the ultimate destination after retransmission from the original source and setting the round-trip time as a minimum retransmission request time for the network connection, wherein the round-trip time includes latencies of the network connection and in data processes at the original source and at the ultimate destination.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2013Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Aspera, Inc.Inventors: Michelle Christine Munson, Serban Simu

Patent number: 8909560Abstract: A practical economic and technical model for building commercial-grade electronic file delivery services that provide the same scale, predictability, and differentiated service levels as physical courier services traditionally used to move electronic data on physical media. Systems and methods for providing such services using a charge-back scheme based on congestion pricing are described.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2011Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Aspera, Inc.Inventors: Michelle Christine Munson, Serban Simu, Ying Xu
