The present application relates to communications between a partner network and a wide area network (WAN) via the Internet. Although Internet service providers may act as autonomous systems, the WAN may control routing from the partner network by advertising unicast border gateway protocol (BGP) address prefixes for a plurality of front-end devices in the WAN. An agent in the partner network measures a plurality of paths to a service within the WAN. Each of the plurality of paths is associated with one of the plurality of front-end devices and a respective unicast BGP address prefix. The WAN selects a path within the WAN for the service. The WAN exports a routing rule to the agent. The agent forwards data packets for the service to the respective BGP address prefix via the Internet. The WAN receives data packets for the service of the partner network at the selected device.

A system for distributing media includes a wide area network (WAN), a media player coupled to the WAN at a first home, and a media server coupled to the WAN at a second home for providing media. A service is coupled to the WAN for receiving a request for media from the media player and for establishing a connection between the first and second homes over the WAN. Media is streamed across the WAN from the second home to the first home. The system may include a storage device coupled to the media player where media is transferred across the WAN for storage at the storage device. A media device may be coupled to the media player for playing the streamed/transferred media where the media player and the media device may comprise a television, stereo, or computer and the media item may comprise video, photographs, or audio.

A system for data communication between electronic devices comprises a first electronic device that is a resource-constrained device; and a second electronic device that exchanges data with the first electronic device. One of the first electronic device and the second electronic device generates a message in a data unit frame complying with a protocol stack that includes a Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) message on a data link layer in the absence of a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) layer.

Technologies for providing out-of-order network packet management and selective data flow splitting include a computing device. The computing device includes circuitry to identify a service data flow associated with a set of packets to be sent to a recipient computing device. The circuitry is also to determine a target quality of service for the service data flow, determine, as a function of the target quality of service, one or more radio links on which to send the packets, including determining whether to split the service data flow over multiple radio links, and send the packets through the determined one or more radio links.

A computing system can establish asynchronous network communications with exchanges to facilitate cross-medium transactions between originating and recipient clients. Such communications can result in filtering out errant responses that would otherwise cause an open transaction to fail.
