A computer-implemented method determines a routing cost for routing data over a routing path between a first device in a first network and a second device, wherein the routing path has a path segment between a gateway device of the first network and a device in a second network, the gateway device being configured to establish a connection between the first and second networks. This method may include determining a routing cost for the path segment, the routing cost for the path segment having a default routing cost value that is based on capabilities of the gateway device and/or the communication technology; and determining the routing cost for the routing path based on the routing cost for the path segment. The invention furthermore relates to determining a route based on the routing cost, and to routing a data packet based on the route.

With the advent of manycore architecture, on-chip interconnect connects a number of cores, caches, memory modules, accelerators, graphic processing unit (GPU) or chiplets in one system. However, on-chip interconnect architecture consumes a significant portion of total parallel computing chip power. Power-gating is an effective technique to reduce power consumption by powering off the routers, but it suffers from a large wake-up latency to resume the full activity of routers. Recent research aims to improve the wake-up latency penalty by hiding it through early wake-up techniques. However, these techniques do not exploit the full advantage of power-gating due to the early wake-up. Consequently, they do not achieve significant power savings. The present invention provides a new router architecture that remedies the large wake-up latency overheads while providing significant power savings. The invention takes advantage of a simple switch to transmit packets without waking up the router. Additionally, the technique hides the wake-up latency by continuing to provide packet transmission during the wake-up phase.

Exemplary memory storage system and methods for distributive storage of data. Exemplary embodiments provide methods and systems including a plurality of nodes where each node has memory for storing data. The nodes may be configured to receive data and store the data at the node if the data is intended for the node or pass the data to another node if the data is not intended for the node. The nodes may manage memory and allocation of specific memory addresses locally, while the system of nodes manages memory based on a naming convention to indicate the nodes and not the individual memory addresses within a node.

A method for determining a processing capability includes: a first node sends a message to a second node. The message includes extension header processing capability information, and the extension header processing capability information is used to indicate a processing capability of the first node for an Internet Protocol (IP) version 6 (IPv6) extension header. After receiving the message, the second node obtains, based on the extension header processing capability information, the processing capability of the first node for the IPv6 extension header to determine whether the first node needs to forward or receive a packet.

A communication system includes: a management server that receives, from an information terminal connectable to a first network, a connection request for connecting to a web service provided by a web server connectable to a second network; first communication control circuitry that controls communication of a communication apparatus connectable to the second network, and second communication control circuitry that controls communication of the information terminal. The first communication control circuitry connects to a relay server that relays communication between the second network and the first network. The second communication control circuitry connects the information terminal to the relay server. A request for the web service provided by the web server and a response to the request are transmitted and received between a web browser of the information terminal and the web server via the relay server and the first communication control circuitry.

A communication control apparatus control establishment of sessions for transmitting content data between communication terminals in a communication system having relay management apparatuses for relaying the content data transmitted from the communication terminals, includes a route setter configured to select one or more relay management apparatuses to set a route for transmitting the content data, based on delay information for each of the sessions, a selector to select, from the selected relay management apparatuses, a relay management apparatus to synthesize the content data to transmit the synthesized content data to the communication terminals that join the session, and a transmitter to transmit selection information indicating the selected relay management apparatus to, among the communication terminals that join the established session, at least one communication terminal coupled to a relay management apparatus differing from the selected relay management apparatus.

The present invention relates to a method for selecting a label switched path LSP, which is applied in an MPLS network and includes: determining an energy engineering parameter of a network element itself in the network, where the network element is a network element on any candidate LSP between a source network element and a destination network element; receiving, by the network element, Interior Gateway Protocol IGP messages sent by other network elements in the network, and obtaining an energy engineering parameter of each of the other network elements; and selecting, according to the energy engineering parameter of the network element itself and the energy engineering parameter of each of the other network elements, a transmission path for the source network element and the destination network element.

A special data splitter and data combiner is shown for low latency emergency and data intensive services so that multiple broadband and wireless networks can be utilized along with public safety networks. Any data session, multimedia or non-multimedia, is split into multiple packet streams with each stream having an identifier wherein some packet streams are sent via the secure public safety network and other streams are sent via other networks of varying characteristics and performance, and a combiner at the other end receiving multiple streams from different networks combines them into a single session.

A framework for joint computation, caching, and request forwarding in data-centric computing-based networks comprises a virtual control plane, which operates on request counters for computations and data, and an actual plane, which handles computation requests, data requests, data objects and computation results in the physical network. A throughput optimal policy, implemented in the virtual plane, provides a basis for adaptive and distributed computation, caching, and request forwarding in the actual plane. The framework provides superior performance in terms of request satisfaction delay as compared with several baseline policies over multiple network topologies.

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for message routing optimization. The message routing optimization system receives requests to transmit messages to recipient devices. The message routing optimization system determines whether to allocate the messages to an optimal routing provider or a secondary routing provider. The message routing optimization ranks the set of routing providers based on a conversion rate index and determines the optimal routing and secondary routing providers based on the ranking. The message routing optimization system allocates messages to the selected routing providers to be delivered to their intended recipients.
