A computing system may include a server configured to host virtual computing sessions, and a client device. The client device may be configured to remotely access a virtual computing session from the server, and receive user input data associated with the virtual computing session and classify the data into first (higher priority) and second (lower priority) data packets. The client device may also be configured to send the first data packets to the server via a first virtual channel, and send the second data packets to the server via a second virtual channel having a higher packet loss rate associated therewith than the first virtual channel. The server may be configured to assemble the second data packets to reconstruct and inject the user input data into the virtual computing session based upon the first data packets.

Methods and apparatus for efficient data transfer within a user space network stack. Unlike prior art monolithic networking stacks, the exemplary networking stack architecture described hereinafter includes various components that span multiple domains (both in-kernel, and non-kernel). For example, unlike traditional “socket” based communication, disclosed embodiments can transfer data directly between the kernel and user space domains. Direct transfer reduces the per-byte and per-packet costs relative to socket based communication. A user space networking stack is disclosed that enables extensible, cross-platform-capable, user space control of the networking protocol stack functionality. The user space networking stack facilitates tighter integration between the protocol layers (including TLS) and the application or daemon. Exemplary systems can support multiple networking protocol stack instances (including an in-kernel traditional network stack).

Methods and apparatus for dynamic packet pool configuration in networking stack architectures. Unlike prior art monolithic memory allocations, embodiments of the present disclosure enable packet pools associated with non-kernel space applications to dynamically allocate additional memory allocations to a given non-kernel space application, or conversely, de-allocate memory allocations to a given non-kernel space application. Variants also disclose the splitting up of a memory allocation into device accessible portions and kernel accessible portions. Other variants disclose sizing certain segment allocations so as to be a multiple of a physical address page size. Such a variant enables a single input/output (I/O) bus address lookup for the given segment so as to minimize look up costs associated with an I/O lookup for the given segment.

A method of encapsulating data and a single frequency network configured to perform the method are disclosed. A content stream of data packets is received, and the data packets in the content stream are formatted in accordance with a first protocol. Information identifying a container size established for the content stream is received. The data packets formatted in accordance with the first protocol are fragmented and packed to form data units formatted in accordance with a second protocol, and the data units are sized based on the container size. The data units formatted in accordance with the second protocol are encapsulated to form second protocol data packets. The second protocol data packets are provided to a transmitter that is synchronized to one or more transmitters in a single frequency network so that each transmitter in the single frequency network broadcasts a same signal that includes the second protocol data packets.

A method, system and apparatus for image capture, analysis and transmission are provided. A link aggregation method involves identifying controller network ports to a source connected to the same subnetwork; producing packets associating corresponding controller network ports selected by the source CPU for substantially uniform selection; and transmitting the packets to their corresponding network ports. An image analysis method involves producing by a camera an indication whether a region of an image differs by a threshold extent from a corresponding region of a reference image; transmitting the indication and image data to a controller via a communications network; and storing at the controller the image data and the indication in association therewith. The controller may perform operations according to positive indications. A transmission method involves receiving user input in respect of a video stream and transmitting, in accordance with the user input, selected data packets of selected image frames thereof.

A system and method for efficiently processing and managing data stored in a queue. A processing device may process the data stored in the queue. Queue protocols can be applied to the queue to efficiently process and manage data stored in the queue. Queue protocols may facilitate efficient use of processing resources that process the data stored in one or more queues. A queue protocol may include at least a first protocol for facilitating transfer of data in the queue to another queue processed by another processing device or a second protocol for inhibiting transfer of data in the queue to another queue.
