An system and method of adaptively transporting large data assets to meet desired transfer speed and cost, includes selecting folders containing files having the data, receiving input of the desired transfer speed and cost, selecting a destination memory device, reading a file header of the files for the selected folders to obtain header information, determining a file type and file size based on the header information, determining a large file size threshold based on the desired transfer speed and cost and previously measured transfer speed. When the file size of a file is above the large file size threshold, dividing the file into two or more file parts in accordance with the file type, transferring the one or more files, including any of the file parts, using a number of parallel transport machine instances, measuring a total speed of the transfer, and storing the measured total speed for use as the previously measured transfer speed.

A computer-implemented method and apparatus verifies integrity of a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) virtual connection at an analog terminal adapter (ATA) at an edge of an Internet Protocol (IP) network. A VoIP transaction is initiated toward a cooperating test unit across the IP network, establishing a VoIP virtual circuit. The test unit responds by transmitting a digital representation of or information representing a test tone across the IP network to the ATA. By evaluating the test tone at the ATA, integrity of a bearer channel of the virtual circuit can be verified directly, and integrity of a signaling channel of the virtual circuit can be verified indirectly.

Method and apparatus for verifying signaling and bearer channels in a packet switched network

A device, such as an ADSL modem, acts as a proxy for service endpoints in a data network by responding to service endpoint advertisement messages pursuant to Point to Point Protocol (PPP) over Ethernet (PPPoE), where the terminating equipment located at those service endpoints do not support PPPoE services. The device also supports route selection and transparent protocol conversion of network protocols so that a host computer connected to the device can communicate with the service endpoints where the service endpoints do not support the host computer's network protocols (e.g., PPPoE). For example, the device converts PPPoE packets from the host computer to PPP packets and transmits and receives PPP packets with the service endpoint. The invention bridges a huge gap in the existing telecommunications infrastructure. The vast majority of the embedded base of product capable of acting as a service endpoint in the PPPoE protocol (such as the remote access server infrastructure providing dial-up Internet or corporate network access) does not presently support PPPoE protocol, whereas they do support PPP. By providing the proxy service in the device connecting the host computer to the service endpoint (such as a modem, e.g., ADSL modem), the host computer can obtain the benefits of PPPoE with virtually any potential device acting as a service endpoint, since the services provided by PPPoE are supported in the modem acting as a proxy for the service endpoint.

Methods and apparatus for providing virtual local connection of one PC to another PC, a PC to a LAN and from one LAN to another LAN, over a synchronous digital wide area network (effectively enabling a LAN to be extended through a synchronous digital wide area network on a virtual basis), using a PC adapter card that includes an on board Data Service Unit (DSU)/Channel Service Unit (CSU), driven by control means that functions at least in part as a LAN interface emulator. The invention includes methods (and corresponding apparatus) for configuring the PC adapter card under program control; for establishing connectivity between at least one PC and at least one LAN, each separately connected to the network, via a gateway access thru the digital wide area network; and for utilizing the PC motherboard microprocessor to run user applications software while simultaneously being able to handle the real time constraints of running packet protocols (e.g., Frame Relay, X.25, SMDS, etc.), using a novel control means.

Methods and apparatus for interconnecting personal computers (PCs) and local area networks (LANs) using packet protocols transmitted over a digital data service (DDS)

A method for efficiently setting up a data transmission session over a communication channel between a local endpoint application and a network endpoint application with a proxy engine in a manner that is transparent to the user. The proxy engine is placed in simultaneous communication sessions with the local endpoint application and the network endpoint application. The proxy engine determines the network control protocols that are supported by both the network endpoint application and the local endpoint application. The proxy engine enables the network control protocols that are supported by both the network endpoint application and the local endpoint application. Optionally, the proxy engine enables data compression techniques that are supported by both the network endpoint application and the proxy engine. After the network control protocols and data compression techniques (if desired) are enabled, the proxy engine transmits data between the local endpoint application and the network endpoint application over the communication channel.
