A processor communication method is implemented by an electronic device including a first processor and a second processor. The method includes the operations as follows. The first processor transmits a first master interrupt signal to the second processor, in response to detecting a downlink packet. The first processor receives a first slave acknowledge signal returned from the second processor based on the first master interrupt signal. The first processor transmits the downlink packet to the second processor based on the first slave acknowledge signal, and transmits a second master interrupt signal after completion of the transmitting of the downlink packet. The second master interrupt signal is used to instruct the second processor to transmit a second slave acknowledge signal after completion of processing the downlink packet.

A method at a connector device, the method including receiving a first message from a peripheral device, the first message being received over a short range communications protocol connection utilizing a generic reading and writing service attribute profile; repackaging data within the first message into a second message at the connector device; and transmitting the second message to a network element, the transmitting utilizing a second communications connection, wherein the repackaging data populates a field within the second message with information about an attribute profile operation.

An HTTP connection between a client computing device and an application is established through a reverse proxy. A response to the client computing device includes a payload instructing initiation of a non-HTTP connection (e.g., TCP, UDP). The response is modified to replace references to an original port with a dynamic port allocated to the non-HTTP connection and a temporary ACL entry is created. A subsequent connection request addressed to the dynamic port is authorized per the ACL, modified to replace the dynamic port with the original port, and forwarded to the application. Subsequent packets for the non-HTTP connection have port numbers translated between the original and dynamic ports.

Methods and systems for implementing private allocated networks in a virtual infrastructure are presented. One method operation creates virtual switches in one or more hosts in the virtual infrastructure. Each port in the virtual switches is associated with a private allocated network (PAN) from a group of possible PANs. In one embodiment, one or more PANs share the same physical media for data transmission. The intranet traffic within each PAN is not visible to nodes that are not connected to the each PAN. In another operation, the method defines addressing mode tables for the intranet traffic within each PAN. The entries in the addressing mode tables define addressing functions for routing the intranet traffic between the virtual switches, and different types of addressing functions are supported by the virtual switches.

An information processing apparatus including a control unit. In a case where a first physical layer network identifier for identifying a first network to which an apparatus in question belongs is determined to match a second physical layer network identifier for identifying a second network to which the apparatus in question does not belong, the control unit changes a first physical layer network identifier. Then, the control unit transmits the change information relating to the change to another information processing apparatus. Further, in a case where change information for changing a first physical layer network identifier for identifying a first network to which the apparatus in question belongs is received from another information processing apparatus which belongs to the first network, the control unit changes a condition for terminating reception processing of a packet on the basis of the change information in a middle of the reception processing.
