Methods, apparatus and computer readable media for transferring encrypted and unencrypted data between processing devices are disclosed. Example data transmission methods disclosed herein include dividing, at a first processing device, a set of data collected at the first processing device into a first unencrypted data subset and a second unencrypted data subset. Disclosed example methods also include encrypting, at the first processing device, the first unencrypted data subset using an encryption key provided by a second processing device to generate a first encrypted data subset. Disclosed example methods further include transmitting the second unencrypted data subset from the first processing device to the second processing device before transmitting the first encrypted data subset from the first processing device to the second processing device to thereby transmit the set of data from the first processing device to the second processing device.

Transferring encrypted and unencrypted data between processing devices

Methods for transferring a set of data from a first processing device to a second processing device are provided. Pursuant to these methods a secure shell ('SSH') authentication is performed to authenticate a first user that is logged onto the first processing device to a second user that is logged onto the second processing device. The set of data is divided into a first data subset and a second data subset. The first data subset is encrypted to provide an encrypted data set. The encrypted data set is transferred from the first processing device to the second processing device. The second data subset is also transferred from the first processing device to the second processing device, but without encrypting the second data subset. Related data transfer systems and computer program products are also provided.

The invention comprises methods and devices of forecasting future computational needs of an application based on input load, where the application comprises a plurality of processes executed on a plurality of computing devices. The method of the invention proceeds by monitoring at least a computational load characteristic of at least a first process executed on a first computing device and a second process executed on a second computing device. A mathematical relationship between input load and the computational load characteristic is established, and future computational needs are forecasted based on the established mathematical relationship.

Techniques for monitoring and processing network reachability events across a service provider's network are disclosed. The techniques include monitoring provider-edge routers by identifying reachability events and partial packet loss events, and processing those events so as to reduce the number of alarms generated for investigation.

A communications system for transporting connectionless datagrams over a connection-oriented network is arranged to remove the address resolution function and the connection setup function from a sending host and combine them in a third-party connection server in conjunction with channel management at connection-oriented routing points. The third party request protocol can be used for Classical connectionless over a connection oriented network, legacy LAN emulation and Routing Over Large Clouds.

Parallel connection control ('PCC') processes and switching networks are described. Various aspects of these PCC processes and networks relate to the provision of an alternative switching connection setup to achieve bandwidth savings or lower cost networks with acceptable setup delay. The new approach provides an alternative to existing switch-by-switch sequential connection setup approaches. In the new approach, segments of the connection are set up by executing operations in parallel. The algorithm and network are also extended to address complex control connection tasks, such as the complex bearer control tasks of third-party connection control, unidirectional multicast connection setup, and multiparty-to-multiparty connection control.
