A method for transmitting data from a first sub-system to a second sub-system includes the steps of providing a dataset by the first sub-system, the dataset having a data structure identifier and a data value; sending the dataset to the second sub-system; receiving the dataset by the second sub-system; checking whether complete assignment information regarding the data structure assigned to the data structure identifier is present in the second sub-system; recovering any missing assignment information from a communication broker in the event that the second sub-system does not contain complete assignment information; and determining the data structure on the basis of the data structure identifier and the assignment information. A corresponding system, a corresponding first sub-system, a corresponding second sub-system and a communication broker are also proposed.

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.

Methods and systems may include processes that may implement abbreviated header communications. In some implementations, a method may include generating a packet including an abbreviated header, where the abbreviated header may include a pointer corresponding to values for multiple parameters associated with a physical layer of communication rather than the values for the multiple parameters. The method may also include transmitting the packet to a client device according to the values for the multiple parameters.

According to implementations of the subject matter described herein, there is proposed a solution for supporting communications for an FPGA device. In an implementation, the FPGA device includes an application module and protocol stack modules. The protocol stack modules are operable to access target devices based on different communication protocols via a physical interface. The FPGA device further includes a universal access module operable to receive, from the application module, first data and a first identity of a first target device, the first target device acting as a destination of the first data, and transmit, based on the first identity and predetermined first routing information, the first data to a first protocol stack module accessible to the first target device via the physical interface. By introducing the universal access module, it is possible to provide unified and direct communications for the application module.

A digital data communications network that supports efficient, scalable routing of data and use of network resources by combining a recursive division of the network into hierarchical sub-networks with repeating parameterized general purpose link communication protocols and an addressing methodology that reflects the physical structure of the underlying network hardware. The sub-division of the network enhances security by reducing the amount of the network visible to an attack and by insulating the network hardware itself from attack. The fixed bandwidth range at each sub-network level allows quality of service to be assured and controlled. The routing of data is aided by a topological addressing scheme that allows data packets to be forwarded towards their destination based on only local knowledge of the network structure, with automatic support for mobility and multicasting. The repeating structures in the network greatly simplify network management and reduce the effort to engineer new network capabilities.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for extracting information associated with one networking transmission protocol, such as Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), based on information associated with a different networking transmission protocol, such as Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv4). More specifically, when resolving an IP address for a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) through which a content file may be obtained, the system may base the resolved URL on attributes of an IPv4 address extracted from an IPv6 address for a machine associated with the request. In one particular example, a geographic location of a requested computing device or machine may be determined or estimated based on an IPv4 address extracted from an IPv6 address associated with the request.

Methods, systems and devices for network congestion control exploit the inherent burstiness of network traffic, using a wave-based characterization of network traffic and corresponding multiplexing methods and approaches.
