  • Patent number: 9253243
    Abstract: Message publish/subscribe systems are required to process high message volumes with reduced latency and performance bottlenecks. The end-to-end middleware architecture proposed by the present invention is designed for high-volume, low-latency messaging by, among other things, reducing intermediary hops with neighbor-based routing, introducing efficient native-to-external and external-to-native protocol conversions, monitoring system performance, including latency, in real time, employing topic-based and channel-based message communications, and dynamically optimizing system interconnect configurations and message transmission protocols.

  • Patent number: 8051481
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods of and systems for adaptive networking that monitors a network resource of a network. The method monitors an application performance. The method categorizes a first subset of traffic of the network. The categories for the first subset include trusted, known to be bad, and suspect. The method determines an action for a second subset of traffic based on the category for the first subset of traffic. Some embodiments provide a system for adaptive networking that includes a first device and traffic that has a first subset and a second subset. The system also includes a first resource and a second resource for the transmission of the traffic. The first device receives the traffic and categorizes the traffic into the first and second subsets. The first device assigns the first subset to the first resource.

  • Publication number: 20060168331
    Abstract: Message publish/subscribe systems are required to process high message volumes with reduced latency and performance bottlenecks. The intelligent messaging application programming interface (API) introduced by the present invention is designed for high-volume, low-latency messaging. The API is part of a publish/subscribe middleware system. With the API, this system operates to, among other things, monitor system performance, including latency, in real time, employ topic-based and channel-based message communications, and dynamically optimize system interconnect configurations and message transmission protocols.

  • Publication number: 20060146999
    Abstract: Message publish/subscribe systems are required to process high message volumes with reduced latency and performance bottlenecks. The end-to-end middleware architecture proposed by the present invention is designed for high-volume, low-latency messaging and with guaranteed delivery quality of service through data caching that uses a caching engine (CE) with storage and storage services. In a messaging, a messaging appliance (MA) receives and routes messages, but it first records all or a subset of the routed messages by sending a copy to the CE. Then, for a predetermined period of time, recorded messages are available for retransmission upon request by any component in the messaging system, thereby providing guaranteed-connected and guaranteed-disconnected delivery quality of service as well as partial data publication service.

  • Publication number: 20060146991
    Abstract: Message publish/subscribe systems are required to process high message volumes with reduced latency and performance bottlenecks. The end-to-end middleware architecture proposed by the present invention is designed for high volume, low-latency messaging by providing, among other things, a central, single point provisioning and management for configuration, provisioning and monitoring system performance. This functionality complements the reduction of intermediary hops through neighbour-based routing and dynamic, real time, optimizing of system interconnect configurations and message transmission protocols.

  • Publication number: 20060072543
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system for and a method of selecting a combination of resources for transmitting data from a remote site to a destination site. The method comprises generating a list of combinations of resources at a regional site and transmitting the list to the remote site. Data is transmitted from the remote site to the regional site using each combination of resources and statistics for each transmission are stored. Metrics, based on the application at hand, are computed for each set of statistics corresponding to each transmission, and a preferred combination of resources is selected at the regional site based on the metrics. The regional site then transmits to the remote site information corresponding to the preferred combination of resources. The remote site is then configured to transmit data to the destination site using the selected combination of resources.
