Patent number: 10862800Abstract: A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example avoiding data copy and task switching by processing protocol headers of network PDUs as a serial tape to be processed in order such as by a single method. Other processing includes reducing stages and simplifying protocol processing and multiplexing during network communications. Address changing in an active network can be implemented by assigning multiple addresses to an entity so that a new address can replace the old address. Peer-to-peer application searching can be performed among networks that can be accessible or non-accessible networks. Utilizing anycast sets that include selected and alternative addresses to enable immediate or near immediate alternative route selection on failure or congestion. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Tria Network Systems, LLCInventors: John D. Day, Steve Bunch

Patent number: 10466811Abstract: A technique controls operation of a local application running on a user device (e.g., a smart phone, a tablet, a personal digital assistant, etc.). The technique involves receiving, by the user device, mouse input from external electronic equipment communicating with the user device. The user device has a touchscreen that displays a touchscreen image of the local application. The mouse input indicates user operation of a hardware mouse. The technique further involves translating, by the user device, the mouse input into translated touchscreen input. The technique further involves providing, by the user device, the translated touchscreen input to the local application running on the user device to operate the local application.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Chris Pavlou, Mukund Ingale, Georgy Momchilov

Employing session level restrictions to limit access to a redirected interface of a composite device
Patent number: 10331599Abstract: Session level restrictions can be implemented to limit access to a redirected interface of a composite device. These session level restrictions can be defined within a policy of a directory service, such as Active Directory, to facilitate the dynamic application of the restrictions to the appropriate remote sessions. In this way, access restrictions can be applied to individual interfaces of a redirected composite device so that a particular interface will only be accessible from specified remote sessions.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2016Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: DELL PRODUCTS L.P.Inventors: Gautam Sonar, Azeez Ahmed, Deepthi Chavan
