The field of the disclosure is the transfer of digital data, particularly multimedia data, from a source to a user of that data using multiple data carrying paths/links/channels.

The field of the disclosure is the transfer of digital data, particularly multimedia data, from a source to a user of that data using multiple data carrying paths/links/channels.

Using high speed data transfer protocol to transfer data between a host and a storage system includes determining if a portion of data is a candidate for being transferred using the high speed data transfer protocol if the portion is not a candidate for high speed data transfer, transferring the data using a relatively low speed data transfer protocol if the portion is a candidate for high speed data transfer, attempting to transfer the data using the high speed data transfer protocol, and if transferring the data using the high speed data transfer protocol is unsuccessful, transferring the data using the relatively low speed data transfer protocol. The high speed data transfer protocol may use a first connection and the relatively low speed data transfer protocol may use a second connection. The first connection may be a PCIe or InfiniBand connection. The second connection may be a FICON connection.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for autopartitioning and processing electronic resources. The system is configured for receiving one or more electronic resources from one or more third party systems, determining that the one or more electronic resources match one or more predetermined characteristics, moving the one or more electronic resources that match the one or more predetermined characteristics into a first pipeline and processing the one or more electronic resources.

Systems and methods for packet payload mapping for robust transmission of data are described. For example, methods may include receiving, using a network interface, packets that each respectively include a primary frame and one or more preceding frames from the sequence of frames of data that are separated from the primary frame in the sequence of frames by a respective multiple of a stride parameter; storing the frames of the packets in a buffer with entries that each hold the primary frame and the one or more preceding frames of a packet; reading a first frame from the buffer as the primary frame from one of the entries; determining that a packet with a primary frame that is a next frame in the sequence has been lost; and, responsive to the determination, reading the next frame from the buffer as a preceding frame from one of the entries.

Methods and systems are provided for cooperating routers in communication networks. The cooperating routers conduct a handshake to exchange information with respect to “cooperation types” which they are capable of performing and/or are configured to perform. In an exemplary “emergency connection” cooperation type, one cooperating router may use the ISP connection of another cooperating router to send and receive packets. In an exemplary “bandwidth sharing” cooperation type, one cooperating router may make excess bandwidth available for use by other cooperating routers. In an exemplary “latency optimization” cooperation type, one cooperating router may use another cooperating router to transmit duplicates of packets or to implement suppression techniques.

A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The tunnel device is selected based on an attribute, such as IP Geolocation. A tunnel bank server stores a list of available tunnels that may be used, associated with values of various attribute types. The tunnel devices initiate communication with the tunnel bank server, and stays connected to it, for allowing a communication session initiated by the tunnel bank server. Upon receiving a request from a client to a content and for specific attribute types and values, a tunnel is selected by the tunnel bank server, and is used as a tunnel for retrieving the required content from the web server, using standard protocol such as SOCKS, WebSocket or HTTP Proxy. The client only communicates with a super proxy server that manages the content fetching scheme.
