Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods for identifying a primary flow and its corresponding subflow(s) so that the subflow(s) may be routed to more efficiently use bandwidth between a source host and a destination host. In embodiments, a table correlates flows and their corresponding keys for Multipath TCP flows. When a new subflow is initiated between a source device and a destination device, the new flow can be identified as being a subflow of a primary flow using data in the table. Having identified the subflow and its corresponding primary flow, the new subflow may have an installed route path that differs from its primary flow, thereby improving the bandwidth usage.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods for improving the exchange of routing information between information handling system by using compression. In embodiments, route information may be packetized as normally performed according to protocol. In embodiments, these packets may be compressed and placed into the data/payload portion of a new format packet. In embodiments, the new format packet includes an extended header with one or more fields that provide information related to the compressed packets in the packet payload. A receiving device receives the new packets with compressed data, decompresses the data, and processes the decompress data packets as per the normal protocol procedures.

Abstract: Systems and associated processes are disclosed for generating recommendations for users based on the computing device likely to be utilized by the user to execute an application, among other things. These systems and processes are described in the context of an interactive computing system that enables users to download applications for mobile devices or for other computing devices. The performance of applications running on the user's computing device can be monitored with the performance data being collected and provided to the interactive computing system. The interactive computing system can include a recommendation system or service that processes the performance data and using the performance data, among possibly other data, the recommendation system can recommend alternative applications to the user for download.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method configured to implement an inter-MSC based handoff of a mobile device between a packet switched network and a mobile core network. In embodiments implementing a handoff from a femtocell to a macrocell, from the perspective of a neighboring MSC on a mobile core network, IP or VOIP information from a femtocell which is in communication with the convergence server, is perceived as having the same protocol as information which originates from a macrocell. Inversely, in embodiments implementing a hand-in to the femtocell from a macrocell, information which originates from a macrocell, which is in communication with the convergence server, would be perceived as IP or VOIP code to the femtocell. Accordingly, a target MSC in a handoff is agnostic of the fact that the mobile device entering into the macrocell was actually attached to a femtocell. Thus, embodiments of the present invention allow existing inter-MSC based handoff solutions to be leveraged.
