A method and system is disclosed for maintaining a communications protocol session between a client and server during times of inactivity at the client caused by other processing in the data path following a request by the client. For various client processes that may expire after a specified amount of inactivity during a particular session, an agent of the client in the data path can send a response containing illusory content to the client that causes the client to maintain the current session. The process at the client can ignore this illusory content response but, by processing it, the communications path session between the client and server can be maintained.

A system, method and computer program product are provided for generating code for analyzing a network. Initially, a plurality of rules is identified defining a manner in which a network is to be analyzed. Next, code is generated based on the rules. Such code is capable of being used by a network analyzer for analyzing a network in accordance with the rules.

Network analyzer engine system and method

The method for reformatting a tag-based code containing at least one corresponding beginning and end tag pair generally includes locating each beginning and end tag of the tag-based code, separating distinct tags and data associated therewith into separate lines, maintaining a tag structure state machine for determining a tag structure corresponding to each line, and delineating each line with a representation of a tag structure corresponding to the line based on the state-machine of the tag structure.

System and method for facilitating editing of codes such as HTML and XML codes by scripts

A software virtual machine mechanism that increases the efficiency of context switching is disclosed. In an application to the networking environment, the software virtual machine is operative to increase the efficiency of handling input/output operations through the improved control of switching between contexts. The software virtual machine supports restartable instructions such that the resumption of a previously blocked context will continue at the instruction that had previously blocked.
