New data processing and transmission method is disclosed. A node executing at least one of protocol layer software downloads software from protocol software server. Each node in network has a node type associated with it and node type is defined by the protocol software layer that node executes. Protocol layer selector selects the protocol layer software running in a node. Communication starts when protocol completion is achieved, and protocol completion is achieved when combination of nodes executes all protocol layers of communication standard.

A computer implemented method of initiating a communication session between a client device and a server using an authentication key exchange protocol comprising: including the steps of receiving at the server from the client device a first communication to initiate the communication session, the first communication comprising a first session resumption indicator to indicate whether or not session resumption is required to be used by the client device; , and establishing, at the server, a session resumption state for the client device based on or in response to a value of the first session resumption indicator.

A packet processing technique can include selecting a protocol field from the packet, and performing a comparison of the selected protocol field with comparison data in a compare logic array to output a protocol index. The protocol index can be used as an address to read parsing commands from a parse control table, and a parse result can be generated based on executing the parsing commands on the packet. The parse results are used to derive a parse result vector, which can be used by a forwarding engine to forward the packet.

Methods, systems, and devices for determining a subset of user devices from among a complete set of user devices based on a set of received information, i.e., attributes associated with a photograph or user device that transmitted the photograph and attributes, where the disposition of the information may be used to determine the subset and then perform facial recognition on the subset of user associated photographs in order to accurately identify each user or users present in the photograph.

A computer device and a method for reading or writing data by a computer device are provided. In the computer device, a central processing unit (CPU) is connected to a cloud controller using a double data rate (DDR) interface. Because the DDR interface has a high data transmission rate, interruption of CPU can be avoided. In addition, the CPU converts a read or write operation request into a control command and writes the control command into a transmission queue in the cloud controller. Because the cloud controller performs a read operation or a write operation on a network device according to operation information in the control command, after writing the control command into the transmission queue, the CPU does not need to wait for an operation performed by the cloud controller and can continue to perform other processes.

A retimer device is provided that includes an elasticity buffer, a receiver, and a controller. The elasticity buffer adds or subtracts data in the elasticity buffer to compensate for different bit rates of two devices to be connected over a link, where the retimer is positioned between the two devices on the link. The receiver receives a data stream to be sent between the two devices on the link. The controller determines, from the data stream, a modification to one or more characteristics of the link, and causes size of the elasticity buffer to be changed from a first size to a second size based on the modification.

A method for delivering data in a transmitter includes generating service layer signaling (SLS) information comprising information for discovery and acquisition of at least one content component, wherein the SLS information and the at least one content component are carried based on a Real-Time Object Delivery over Unidirectional Transport (ROUTE) protocol or an MPEG Media Transport (MMT) protocol; generating service list table (SLT) information comprising bootstrap information for acquiring the SLS information; encapsulating the at least one content component, the SLS information and the SLT information; and transmitting a broadcast signal comprising the at least one content component, the SLS information and the SLT information.

Network requests are made to download a data object with different settings of network parameters. Download outcomes of the data object as requested by the network requests are determined. An elasticity of downloading the data object is determined with respect to a specific network parameter in the network parameters. The elasticity is used to generate a network optimization policy that identifies an optimal value for the specific network parameter to be implemented by user devices and/or other devices/elements for downloading the data object.

A system in one embodiment comprises a first endpoint device that is configured to communicate with a second endpoint device using a given communication protocol. The first endpoint device is configured to monitor a communication session under the given communication protocol and to determine a metric value associated with a given network metric based at least in part on the monitoring. The first endpoint device is further configured to determine that a network condition has occurred based at least in part on a comparison of the metric value to a threshold value for the given network metric and to activate a performance monitoring component of the given communication protocol for the first endpoint device based at least in part on the determination that the network condition has occurred. The first endpoint device is further configured to generate performance data associated with the communication session utilizing the activated performance monitoring component.

A security platform running on a server includes (a) protocol stacks each configured to receive and to transmit IP data packets over a network interface, wherein the protocol stacks have predetermined performance characteristics that are different from each other and wherein each protocol stack includes one or more program interfaces to allow changes to its performance characteristics; (b) application programs each configured to receive and transmit payloads of the IP data packets, wherein at least two of the application programs are customized to handle different content types in the payloads and wherein each application program accesses the program interface of at least one protocol stack to tune performance characteristics of the protocol stack; (c) classifiers configured to inspect at a given time IP data packets then received in the network interface to select one of the protocol stack and one of the application programs to service the data packets; and (d) a control program to load and run the selected protocol stack and the selected application program.
