Abstract: A gateway receives a response to a request from a server before that request is transmitted from the gateway to the server. The gateway is thus preloaded with the response even though the gateway has not issued a corresponding request to the server. Rather, the request was communicated to the server from a different gateway and the server preemptively sent the response to the gateway. Moreover, a server receives a first request from a first gateway representing an event generated from a first device. The server analyzes the request, generates a response, and transmits the generated response to the first gateway. The server also communicates the response to a second gateway upon determining that the event is applicable to a second device associated with the second gateway, the response being communicated to the second gateway before the second gateway transmits a second request representing the event to the server.
