This disclosure relates to techniques for updating a memory map maintained by processing circuitry that is coupled to programmable logic circuitry. One of the techniques may involve detecting reconfiguration of a device component formed on a portion of the programmable logic circuitry using monitoring circuitry. The technique may further include generating a notification event based on the reconfiguration of the device component using the monitoring circuitry. The notification event may then be sent to the processing circuitry using the monitoring circuitry. The technique may further involve updating, using the processing circuitry, the memory map based on the notification event.

Embodiments of the present invention include a variety of different integrated, multi-tiered methods and systems for preventing various types of attacks on computer systems, including denial-of-service attacks and SYN-flood attacks. Components of these integrated methods and systems include probabilistic packet droppers, packet-rate throttles, resource controls, automated firewalls, and efficient connection-state-information storage in memory resources and connection-state-information distribution in order to prevent draining of sufficient communications-related resources within a computer system to seriously degrade or disable electronics communications components within the computer system.

A media spooler system is described that provides a methodology for efficient transmission of media content from client devices, such transmission of digital images from wireless digital cameras. The media spooler or gateway addresses wireless transmission problems by acting as a protocol gateway between a thin-client device and a target host or server (supported by a server infrastructure). More particularly, the media spooler of the present invention acts as a protocol gateway between thin-client devices (e.g., 'mobile visual communicator' in the form of a wireless digital camera) and server infrastructure (e.g., server-based computer systems or 'Web servers' of a photographic service provider). This task entails accepting multiple, simultaneous connections from various client devices (e.g., wireless digital cameras), extracting information from those devices (e.g., digital photographs or other media content), and then uploading that information to the target server infrastructure. In basic operation, the media spooler queries each client device for the information (e.g., media, such as pictures) the client device thinks should uploaded, and then the media spooler queries the server infrastructure for the subset of pictures that have not been already uploaded. This improved coordination or synchronization of information between a device and target host allows for efficient recovery of dropped cellular data calls by essentially allowing the media spooler to &#x201c;pick up where it left off.&#x201d;
