A method of reducing the bandwidth usage of a network comprises intercepting traffic between a TCP server and a TCP client using TCP protocols that use client acknowledgements; identifying client acknowledgements from the TCP protocols; identifying the sequence number of a last received client acknowledgements from the intercepted traffic; identifying the sequence number of a last sent client acknowledgement from the intercepted traffic; calculating an unacknowledged byte value based on the difference between the last received client acknowledgement sequence number and the last sent client acknowledgement sequence number; comparing the calculated unacknowledged byte value with a predetermined threshold value, to determine whether the calculated unacknowledged byte value is at least as great as the predetermined threshold value; and transmitting the identified client acknowledgements into the network when the compared unacknowledged byte value is at least as great as the predetermined threshold value.

System and method for reducing bandwidth usage of a network

Systems and methods for transporting data between two endpoints over an encoded channel are disclosed. Data transmission units (data units) from the source network are received at an encoding component logically located between the endpoints. These first data units are subdivided into second data units and are transmitted to the destination network over the transport network. Also transmitted are encoded or extra second data units that allow the original first data units to be recreated even if some of the second data units are lost. These encoded second data units may be merely copies of the second data units transmitted, parity second data units, or second data units which have been encoded using erasure correcting coding. At the receiving endpoint, the second data units are received and are used to recreate the original first data units.

System and method for achieving accelerated throughput

A dedicated network gateway device capable of bridging, switching or routing network traffic between a traditional network and a direct interconnect network is provided. The device may include a host interface card having a first port, second port, and one or more computation devices. The first port may be a direct interconnect port connected to a direct interconnect network. The second port may be a traditional network port connected to switches and devices in the traditional network. The computation devices may be internally connected to the first and second ports. The host interface card may be connected to a host device via a communication bus. The host interface card may be capable of switching network traffic between the traditional and direct interconnect networks without intervention by the host device.

Dedicated network gateway device

A system transports a plurality of UDP datagrams from a sending application to a receiving application by creating a TCP tunnel between a TCP sending-end and a TCP receiving-end, encapsulating the datagrams in TCP packets at the TCP transmitting-end, transmitting the TCP packets via the TCP tunnel to the TCP receiving-end over a network using a TCP/IP protocol, and extracting the datagrams from the TCP packet and forwarding the extracted datagrams to the receiving application. The TCP tunnel may provide the same delay and responsiveness as UDP protocol. The TCP receiving-end may detect when a packet is missing and request retransmission when a packet is missing, so that the TCP sending-end retransmits the missing packets. The transmitting of TCP packets to the TCP receiving-end continues when the receiving-end detects a missing packet, so that there is no lag in the forwarding of the extracted datagrams. Retransmitted packets may be discarded.

Shuffle for connecting nodes in a direct interconnect network

A dedicated network gateway device that is capable of bridging, switching or routing network traffic between traditional network and direct interconnect networks, comprising: a first set of one or more traditional network ports with a single link per port generally comprising one or more of SFP+, QSFP, and QSFP+ connectors, such ports being connected to switches or devices that form a traditional network; and a second set of one or more direct interconnect ports with a high number of links per port (two or more) generally comprising one or more of MXC, MTP, and MTO connectors, such ports being connected to a direct interconnect network.

Direct interconnect gateway

A network arbiter and associated method for linking and controlling the rate of data transmission between a sender on a connected network and a client with an advertised receive window are disclosed. The network arbiter comprises a downstream temporary storage for temporarily storing data in transmission from the sender to the client, an upstream temporary storage for temporarily storing data in transmission from the client to the sender and a processor operatively connected to the downstream temporary storage and the upstream temporary storage. The processor is configured to alter the advertised receive window in order to modulate the rate of data transmission.

Minimal buffer network arbiter

A method of forwarding data transmissions from a first network to a third network via a second network comprises receiving packets of a first type from the first network, segmenting each packet into packets of a second type that are transmitted to the second network, and producing and transmitting at least one encoded duplicate of each of the packets of a second type to the second network to allow a packet of the first type to be recreated in the event that not all the packets of the second type are received. In the event that a sufficient number of the packets of a second type and the encoded duplicate packets are not received to recreate the packet of a first type, the method determines a loss ratio that represents the number of packets not recreated relative to the number of packets transmitted during a selected time interval.
