Patent number: 7441248Abstract: In a data transfer device, presence/absence of a prescribed header in the received request message is analyzed, and information indicating the presence/absence of the prescribed header, or information indicating either presence or absence of the prescribed header when the prescribed header is either present or absent as a result of analysis is stored. Then, when a reply message corresponding to the request message is received, the presence/absence of the prescribed header is checked by referring to the stored information, and the reply message is transferred according to a result of checking.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2002Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Hideaki Sato, Tatsunori Kanai, Hideki Yoshida, Toshibumi Seki, Kenichiro Yoshii, Takayuki Miyazawa, Yasuhiro Kimura, Haruhiko Toyama

DATA TRANSFER SCHEME USING CACHING AND DIFFERENTIAL COMPRESSION TECHNIQUES FOR REDUCING NETWORK LOAD
Publication number: 20080250119Abstract: In a data transfer scheme using a caching technique and/or a compression technique which is capable of reducing the network load of a network connecting between data transfer devices, correspondences between data and their names are registered at the data transfer devices and the corresponding names are transferred, instead of transferring the data, for those data for which the correspondences are registered, so that it is possible to reduce the amount of transfer data among the data transfer devices. Even when the name corresponding to the data is not registered so that it is impossible to transfer the corresponding name instead of transferring the data, it is possible to reduce the amount of transfer data among the data transfer devices by transferring the compressed data in which this data is expressed in a compressed form by utilizing the name corresponding to the registered reference data.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2007Publication date: October 9, 2008Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBAInventors: Tatsunori KANAI, Toshibumi Seki, Kenichiro Yoshii, Hideaki Sato, Takayuki Miyazawa, Haruhiko Toyama, Yasuhiro Kimura, Hideki Yoshida -
