Method and network elements (NEs) for enabling reliable application layer data transmission through an unreliable network are described. A proxy NE receives from a first NE through a first transport protocol connection first application layer data. The proxy NE transmits the first application layer data through a second transport protocol connection towards the second NE. The proxy NE receives from the first NE through the first transport protocol connection second application layer data that is destined to the second NE. Responsive to determining that there are no transport protocol connections for transmitting the second application layer date, the proxy NE stores the second application layer data in the first proxy NE. Responsive to determining that a third transport protocol connection is established towards the second NE, the proxy NE transmits the second application layer data through the third transport protocol connection towards the second NE.

Technology that facilitates communication of inter-application messages via a message-oriented messaging (MOM) system is disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: intercept an inter-application message from a publisher that is destined for a subscriber; convert the intercepted message into a proprietary format of a MOM system; transmit converted message to the MOM system; receive a MOM-processed message from the MOM system; transform the MOM-processed message from the MOM-system proprietary format to the hypertext transfer protocol; and send the transformed message to the subscriber using the hypertext transfer protocol.

A computer-implemented method includes: installing a first message protocol on a transaction terminal based on a provider thereof; installing an adapter layer on the terminal, the adapter layer including a mapping from the first message protocol to a standard message protocol; reading payment data from a payment device, the payment data associated with a transaction; generating a message including the payment data according to the first message protocol; translating the message from the first message protocol to the standard message protocol with the adapter layer to form a transaction message; and communicating the transaction message to a transaction processing system.

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to communicating signals to receivers utilizing different protocols. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, a set of signals are generated to include data configured in accordance with a first protocol and data configured in accordance with a second protocol. The set of signals are communicated over the wireless channel, by using the data corresponding to the first protocol for communicating with receivers operating in accordance with the first protocol and using the data corresponding to the second protocol to communicate with receivers operating in accordance with the second protocol.

A data storage interface provides access to data storage clusters that may not otherwise be accessible to data accessors. The data storage interface can serve as a point of access for data accessors to access stored data via a consistent data access protocol, even when a data storage cluster on which requested data is stored may use a different protocol. The data storage interface can also provide access across network boundaries, such as those between different private cloud computing systems (e.g., virtual private clouds or “VPCs”).

A method for providing a translating virtual network function by a network element. The method comprises receiving by the network element a first Packet Forwarding Control Protocol (PFCP) message of a plurality of PFCP messages at a first Internet Protocol (IP) address of a plurality of IP addresses of the network element, the first IP address corresponding to a first Session Management Function (SMF) of one or more SMFs, selecting by the network element a translation method based on the first IP address on which the first PFCP message was received, translating by the network element the first PFCP message using the selected translation method into a function-based model representation of the first PFCP message, and configuring by the network element a network interface controller to implement, based on the representation of the first PFCP message, a protocol data unit (PDU) session.

Systems and methods comprise a gateway at a premises. The gateway is coupled to a remote system. An interface component is coupled to a processor of the gateway. The interface component comprises at least one module that interfaces and exchanges data with a processing component of a security system installed at a location. The processing component uses a proprietary protocol of the security system for processing data of the security system. The processor controls communications that comprise passing commands from the remote systems to the security system, and passing event data of the security system to the remote system.
