Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to the field of logical movement of data objects. In various examples, the logical movement of data objects may reduce or eliminate network hotspots (e.g., avoid formation of hotspots, remove existing hotspots and/or reduce the magnitude of hotspots). In various examples, the logical movement of data objects may be implemented in the form of systems, methods and/or algorithms.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for transmitting content across a link in a communications network. In an embodiment, the method comprises examining traffic in the network at a sender end of the link to determine if the traffic is carrying compressed content; when the traffic is carrying compressed content, decompressing at least one portion of the compressed content; and checking a cache to determine if the cache has content matching the at least one decompressed portion of the content. In an embodiment, the method further comprises when the cache has content matching the at least one decompressed portion of the content, determining an identifier associated with the at least one decompressed portion of the content; and using the identifier to reconstruct, at a receiving end of the link, the at least one decompressed portion of the content.

Abstract: Various embodiments detecting wireless communication device mobility in a wireless communication network. In one embodiment, one or more Internet Protocol (IP) data packets associated with a wireless communication device are analyzed. The wireless communication device is coupled with the edge entity. A determination is made, based on the analyzing, that the wireless communication device is a newly coupled device at the edge entity. A central entity disposed within the wireless communication network is notified that the wireless communication device is currently coupled to the edge entity.

Abstract: Methods for performing retransmission of data packets over a network. A node receives a data packet with a source and a destination address. The data packet is sent along a network path to the destination address, and information associated with the data packet is sent to a controller node that is independent of the network path. A controller receives information associated with a data packet from any forwarder node within a plurality of forwarder nodes each monitoring communications along separate communications paths. An indication of a receipt acknowledgement for the data packet is received from a second forwarder node that is separate from the first forwarder node and the controller node. The receipt acknowledgement is correlated with the data packet and based on the correlating, data associated with retransmission processing of the data packet is deleted.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide byte caching in wireless communication networks. In one embodiment, a plurality of data packets are received through an internet protocol (IP) data flow established between a wireless communication device and at least one server. Each of the plurality of data packets are combined into a packet bundle. A determination is made as to whether a second byte caching system is available. The packet bundle is transformed using one or more byte caching operations based on a second byte caching system being available. The transformed packet bundle is sent to the second byte caching system using an IP communication mechanism.

Abstract: A system and method for instantiation of a virtual machine (VM) in a datacenter includes providing a network appliance in a location for listening to management information traffic. Indices are created for data center images in the network appliance. VM instantiation requests are intercepted in the network appliance. Locations from which blocks for the VM should be fetched based upon network cost are determined. VM image blocks are populated from the locations.

Abstract: Middleboxes include a processor configured to determine that a network connection between a client device and a server device is idle. A connection table is configured to create a first connection entry at the middlebox for the client device and a second connection entry at the middlebox for the server device. The first and second connection entries are initialized after determining that the network connection between the client device and the server device is idle. A network control module is configured to activate redirection of the network connection between the client device and the server device to the middlebox after determining that the network connection between the client device and the server device is idle.
