A method, system and non-transitory computer-readable medium for distributing adaptive bitrate (ABR) media are disclosed. The method includes initially ingesting a first ABR media element at a first network node and receiving, at the first network node, a second ABR media element that was initially ingested at a second node. The method further includes initiating distribution of the first and second ABR media elements from the first network node to a first plurality of network nodes.

A socket-intercept layer in kernel space on a network device may intercept a packet destined to egress out of the network device. The socket-intercept layer may then query a routing daemon for the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) value of the interface out of which that packet is to egress from the network device. In response to this query, the routing daemon may provide the socket-intercept layer with the MTU value of that interface. A tunnel driver in kernel space may identify the size of the packet and fragment the packet into segments whose sizes are each less than or equal to the MTU value of the interface. The tunnel driver may then push the segments of the packet to a packet forwarding engine on the network device. In turn, the packet forwarding engine may forward the segments of the packet to the corresponding destination via the interface.

A method for communicating a data packet, the method includes receiving a data packet that supports a packet wash operation. The method determines whether the data packet can be forwarded along a network path towards a destination node without any modification. If the data packet cannot be forwarded along the network path towards the destination node without modification, the method determines whether conditions are met for performing the packet wash operation on the data packet. If the conditions are met, the packet wash operation is performed to generate a washed data packet. The packet wash operation generates the washed data packet by modifying a size of a payload of the data packet based on a packet wash specification that associates attributes to a plurality of data payload portions of the payload of the data packet. The washed data packet is forwarded along the network path towards the destination node.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems for coordinated access to a satellite link through data profiles are disclosed. A method includes providing, by each of a plurality of hubs, a unique identifier to a network management element associated with a base station, wherein the providing includes wirelessly transmitting, by each of the hubs, the unique identifier to the base station through a wireless satellite link, receiving through the wireless satellite link, by each hub, one or more data profiles back from the network management element wherein each of the one or more data profiles correspond with one or more data sources associated with the hub, and controlling, by each hub, a timing of communication of the data for each of the one or more data sources from the hub to the base station through the wireless satellite link based on the data profile corresponding with the data source.

Systems and techniques, including special messages and state machines, are described that configures an intermediate site to dynamically trigger creation of and removal of a dynamic conduit between two sites based on usage that is tracked at the sites. The intermediate site providing WAN-to-WAN forwarding between the two sites, monitors throughput statistics on each local WAN link (LWL) associated with the two sites. If traffic between the two sites passes a configured first threshold or if LWL usage passes a configured second threshold, the intermediate site sends a message to the two sites to set up a dynamic conduit directly coupling the two sites. Busy lists are used to keep track of eligible site pairs. Once a dynamic conduit is set up between two sites, a grow technique tests the dynamic conduit increasing communication flows between the two sites each configured sampling period before putting the conduit in normal use.

Methods and systems for a networked storage environment are provided. One method includes splitting, by a first node, a payload into a plurality of data packets, each data packet having a portion of the payload indicated by an offset value indicating a position of each portion within the payload; transmitting, by the first node, the plurality of data packets to a second node using a network connection for a transaction, each data packet including a header generated by the first node having the offset value and a payload size; receiving, by the first node, a message from the second node indicating an offset value of a missing payload of a missing data packet from among the plurality of data packets; and resending, by the first node, the missing data packet and any other data packet whose offset value occurs after the offset value of the missing payload.

Techniques for transferring data between a host system and a remote system over a network are disclosed. A large command with associated data to be transmitted is divided into segments. Each segment is encapsulated in a network transport unit that includes a corresponding segment identifier for the segment. The network transport units for the segments are then submitted for transmission between the host system and the remote system using multiple network paths. A system receiving the network transport units for the segments reassembles the command with associated data based on the corresponding segment identifiers in the network transport units.

When a network entity receives packets transmitted from a user equipment device (UE), the network entity will detect that a threshold number of those packets exceed the network entity's maximum transmission unit (MTU), and the network entity will responsively cause the UE to reduce the UE's MTU. In particular, the network entity will responsively transmit to the UE, within a header of a packet carrying bearer data to the UE, a directive for the UE to decrease the UE's MTU.

A path MTU size determination system includes a source host device that generates and transmits a path MTU size discovery packet. A plurality of switch devices in the path MTU size determination system provide a network path that couples a destination host device to the source host device. Each of the switch devices is configured to receive the path MTU size discovery packet transmitted by the source host device, provide a switch identity of that switch device and a MTU size supported by that switch device in a MTU size reporting header included in the MTU size discovery packet, and forward the path MTU size discovery packet. One of the switch devices will operate to determine a lowest MTU size in the MTU size reporting header, and another of the switch devices will cause the source host device to provide the lowest MTU size as its path MTU size.

A method for correcting a packet of an Internet control message protocol (ICMP), during routing of a packet between a private and a public network having been processed by an application level gateway, includes reading a packet of an ICMP including a need to fragment message and the value of a maximum transmission unit defining the maximum size of data packets handled in a communication protocol used by a routing, calculating a value of a processing size by comparing a size of a packet not processed by the integrator of the application level gateway and a size of the same packet processed by the integrator, modifying the packet of an ICMP by overwriting the value of the maximum transmission unit with an actual maximum packet size value which depends on the value of the processing size, sending, to a transmitter having sent the non-processed packet, the packet of an ICMP.
