A computing system may be configured to store a master session context of a HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) session, and a queue of HTTP transactions. A middleware module of the computing system may be executable by the processor to: (i) select a first HTTP transaction from the queue, (ii) execute an exclusive phase of the first HTTP transaction, including copying the master session context into a first local session context, (iii) cause a web server to execute a non-exclusive phase of the first HTTP transaction using a first thread and the first local session context, (iv) select a second HTTP transaction from the queue, and (v) execute an exclusive phase of the second HTTP transaction, including copying the master session context into a second local session context. Execution of the exclusive phase of the second HTTP transaction and the execution of the non-exclusive phase of the first HTTP transaction occur concurrently.

A computing system may include a server configured to provide Software as a Service (SaaS) application sessions and at least one client computing device cooperating with the server to run a first one of the SaaS application sessions having a form including an input data field, and generate an application program interface (API) based upon the input data field from the form. The at least one client computing device may further link an output of an Internet of Things (IoT) sensor corresponding to the input data field to the API, and collect data output from the IoT sensor and populate the input data field in the form via the API.

Methods and apparatus for efficient data transfer within a user space network stack. Unlike prior art monolithic networking stacks, the exemplary networking stack architecture described hereinafter includes various components that span multiple domains (both in-kernel, and non-kernel). For example, unlike traditional socket based communication, disclosed embodiments can transfer data directly between the kernel and user space domains. Direct transfer reduces the per-byte and per-packet costs relative to socket based communication. A user space networking stack is disclosed that enables extensible, cross-platform-capable, user space control of the networking protocol stack functionality. The user space networking stack facilitates tighter integration between the protocol layers (including TLS) and the application or daemon. Exemplary systems can support multiple networking protocol stack instances (including an in-kernel traditional network stack).

A system and approach that may provide a protocol independent environment to configure an ASC (application specific control) device in, for example, a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. By using this system and approach, a user may reuse a device configuration already done for a device of one protocol in a device of another protocol without being required to reconfigure the latter device from scratch. This way may help a user to reduce the total setup time required to fully configure a device. The reduction may be done by simply exporting the configuration information from the first device and then importing the configuration information into the second device, where the internal protocol specific details can be handled internally by a tool. Thus, a user need not bother with the details that are in the background of the moving a configuration among devices of different protocols.

A signal transmission method for lightweight remote control communication protocol is provided. According to the method, a signal-controlled-end transceiver executes a communication transmission process according to a communication protocol to receive a communication signal. The communication transmission process includes determining whether the payload column of the communication signal is encrypted and determining whether the communication signal is a single-direction or a dual-direction communication signal. Besides, the communication signal further includes a control data and an information data. In this way, when a controlled device receives the communication signal, the control element of the controlled device controls the controlled device according to the control data and the information data. The method can identify signal-direction signals or dual-direction signals, encrypted signals or non-encrypted signals, and transmit the control data and the information data to the controlled device on a lightweight data basis, and so can achieve accurate control and other technical effects.

A method and computing device for delta compression techniques for reducing network resource transmission size are described. A first request for a network resource is received. The requested network resource is retrieved. A first response including the network resource is transmitted to the near end network optimizer. The retrieved network resource is stored as a first version of the network resource regardless of a directive that a cached version of the network resource is not to be used to respond to future HTTP requests for that network resource without successful revalidation with an origin server. A second request for the network resource is received. A most current version of the network resource is retrieved. A set of differences between the first version and the most current version of the network resource are determined. The set of differences are transmitted to the near end network optimizer.

This disclosure describes techniques for performing communications between devices using various aspects of Ethernet standards. As further described herein, a protocol is disclosed that may be used for communications between devices, where the communications take place over a physical connection complying with Ethernet standards. Such a protocol may enable reliable and in-order delivery of frames between devices, while following Ethernet physical layer rules, Ethernet symbol encoding, Ethernet lane alignment, and/or Ethernet frame formats.

A method for reducing a number of copies required to send a data sample with a Data Distribution Service (DDS) type in a system using an Object Management Group (OMG) Data Distribution Service (DDS) and a Real-Time Publish Subscribe (RTPS) protocol is provided. Key to the invention is the definition/creation of a memory representation of the data samples for the DDS type that is equal to the network representation of the data samples for the DDS type. Sending of data samples to the DataReader is accomplished without making a serialization copy of the data samples, and for the receiving the data samples from the DataWriter is accomplished without making a deserialization copy of the data samples. Further, a method is provided for accessing to a network representation of data samples with a DDS type in a system using an OMG DDS and a RTPS protocol.

A protocol model generator according to the present disclosure includes: a memory in which a protocol model generating program is stored; and a processor configured to execute the program. Herein, upon execution of the program, the processor extracts multiple strings from a binary corresponding to a protocol, generates a message pool including multiple candidate messages to be used in the protocol corresponding to the binary on the basis of the extracted multiple strings, and generates a protocol model corresponding to the protocol and configured to include nodes corresponding to the respective candidate messages included in the message pool. Further, the candidate messages include messages generated on the basis of the strings and response messages generated corresponding to the messages, and the protocol model is generated including one or more nodes and transition information between the nodes.
