The response time from a client on a network is measured and a destination address is selected based on the measured response time. The client requests an address from the network. The network may be a local network or a wide area network such as the Internet. The response time of the client is measured to determine the optimum speed at which the client may operate. The measured response time is communicated to the server, where a destination address is selected based on the requested address and the measured response time. The client may then be connected to the destination address.

Speed sensitive content delivery in a client-server network

A link lock system for a network includes a computer, a network interface device, a bus monitor, and a security switch. The network interface device provides the computer with access to the network. The bus monitor monitors a link between the network interface device and the computer. The bus monitor reports detected failures or intrusions. The security switch switches the link from a non-secured mode to a secured mode when a report of the detected failures or intrusions is received from the bus monitor.

Embodiments of the systems and methods provide the superior performance of high-speed distributed processing in a clustered system environment. The distributed computing system stores data tables or distributes jobs or tasks on multiple processors that execute on one or more nodes. For the case of multiple nodes, the nodes communicate over an inter-nodal communication link, for example, via a proprietary communication protocol, or alternatively via a standard protocol such as SQL database command protocol. By distributing the data storage and task processing over a potentially large number of processors and nodes, the distributed computing system returns processing results to the requestor in significantly reduced times as compared to conventional computing systems.

A broker for the management of client requests issued by a client computer over a client-server network. Depending on its availability of resources, the broker determines whether to respond to the client request, or hand-off the client request to another server. The broker supports a virtual connection between the client and the other server, without interfering with communication protocols or disrupting client requests. The other server fulfills client requests by operating in place of the broker. The server terminates the virtual connection when all client requests have been completely fulfilled.

System and method for managing client requests in client-server networks

Connecting to a network server includes determining, at a first server, to which one of N mirrored servers a request from a client should be routed based at least in part on an address indicating the client and a route to the client and on the quality of service between at least some of the N mirrored servers to the client and determining to route requests from other clients associated with the address to the one of the N mirrored servers.

System for isolating other clients that experience different connection performance than the client and directing the other clients to another different mirrored server

A server broker configured for use in a secure communication network, such as the Internet. The broker is configured to broker client transactions received over a secure network link, such as a secure socket layer (SSL) link, for distribution among one or more of a plurality of fulfillment servers. In one embodiment, the broker establishes a non-secure link with the one or more fulfillment servers. In another embodiment, the broker establishes a secure SSL link with the one or more fulfillment servers. The fulfillment server executes client transactions and sends response packets for delivery to the client.

Method and system for managing secure client-server transactions

To provide secure communications over a network, a server on the network responds to an initiating event (such as a request sent to the server via the network by an application program) by randomly selecting a cryptographic algorithm from a shared algorithm repository, and then downloads the selected algorithm, or at least an appropriate portion of same, to the requesting application program. In the case of information being sent from the application to the server, a random encryption algorithm is selected and retrieved from the repository, and then downloaded to the requesting application. Upon receipt the encryption algorithm is dynamically linked to the application program to encrypt outgoing messages to the server. A complimentary decryption algorithm is also retrieved by the server and is dynamically linked to the server to decrypt incoming messages from the requesting application. In this manner, the requesting application contains only the knowledge needed to encrypt information, and contains no knowledge of how to decrypt this information. Only the server maintains the algorithm for the decryption of the data. The reverse would be true for data going the other way, or both the server and the application can have encryption and decryption algorithms for two way communications.
