A secondary output of a user interface created using a presentation framework may be created by making a clone of the user interface, then modifying the cloned user interface by expanding various components. The cloned user interface may also be configured to the output characteristics of the secondary output, which may be a printer or other hardcopy device. The user interface may be created with callbacks or other actions that may be executed when the cloned user interface is configured. The callbacks may cause certain user interface components to be changed on the cloned version of the user interface.

Secondary output generation from a presentation framework

Contiguous data packets of a single communication session between endpoints are gathered for compression, and at least the payloads are compressed collectively via a single compressible buffer. The original headers, which may or may not be compressed, and the compressed payloads are transmitted from a sending packet compression device to a receiving packet compression device that performs decompression to the compressed payload and may also decompress headers if they have been compressed at the sending end. The original contiguous data packets including headers and payload may be reconstructed at the receiving packet compression device by matching the headers to the corresponding payloads. The reconstructed data packets are injected back into the single communication session, and the presence of the original headers in the reconstructed data packets may thereby maintain the endpoint-to-endpoint authentication protocols.

Compression of data packets while maintaining endpoint-to-endpoint authentication

Optimization of encrypted traffic flowing over a WAN is provided by an arrangement in which WAN compression is distributed between endpoints (i.e., client machines or servers) in a subnet of a hub and branch network and a WAN compression server in the subnet. A client portion of the WAN compression running on each of one or more endpoints interfaces with a disposable local cache of data seen by endpoints in the subnet that is used for compressing and decompressing traffic using dictionary-based compression techniques. The local WAN compression server in a subnet stores a shared central database of all the WAN traffic in the subnet which is used to populate local disposable caches in the endpoints.
