The table comprises at least one first license part common to licenses for the plurality of client devices or client device groups and one or more placeholders for one or more second license parts specific for a dedicated client device or client device group. The table comprises, for each client device or client device group and for a given placeholder, replacement information specific for that client device or client device group. The method further comprises sending the template and table for delivery as compressed license information to the client devices or client device groups. | 2012-04-26 |
20120102216 | Method And Device For Message Retransmission - The present invention provides a method and device for message retransmission. The method comprises: constructing a first status report by a receiving terminal according to a message to be retransmitted, reading a message serial number of a truncated NACK which is truncated by an available bandwidth from the first status report, calculating a difference value between a front edge serial number of a receiving window of the receiving terminal and the message serial number of the truncated NACK, comparing the difference value with a given threshold, and taking a part before a truncation site as a second status report; constructing a third status report according to a comparison result and the second status report; sending the third status report by the receiving terminal; and retransmitting the message by a sending terminal according to the received third status report. The device for message retransmission is also provided, and comprises a threshold comparison module, a status report constructing module, a status report sending module and a retransmission module. By the method and device, it is achieved that under various status situations of the data transmission window, the air interface data transmission may be performed in time and the data transmission speed and efficiency are improved. | 2012-04-26 |
20120102217 | Multi-Adapter Link Aggregation for Adapters with Hardware Based Virtual Bridges - Mechanisms for providing a network adapter and functionality for performing link aggregation within a network adapter are provided. With these mechanisms, a network adapter is provided that includes a plurality of physical network ports for coupling to one or more switches of a data network and a link aggregation module, within the network adapter, and coupled to the plurality of physical network ports. The link aggregation module comprises logic for aggregating links associated with the plurality of physical network ports into a single virtual link. The link aggregation module interfaces with a virtual Ethernet bridge (VEB) of the network adapter to send data to the VEB and receive data from the VEB. | 2012-04-26 |
20120102218 | SEGMENTATION AND REASSEMBLY OF DATA FRAMES - A system and method of transmitting data frames between a plurality of input ports to a plurality of output ports is described. The input ports segment portions of the received data frames to provide smaller data cells which are individually transmitted to an output port associated with a destination of the segmented data frame. Based upon information provided in the data cells received at the output port, the output port determines the ordinal positions of the received data cells within the segmented data frame and reassembles the data frame which was segmented at the input port. The output port then forwards the reassembled frame toward the associated destination. | 2012-04-26 |
20120102219 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING AN INTERNET DOMAIN BASED ON THE GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION OF AN ACCESSING USER - A system and method for managing an Internet domain based on the geographic location of an accessing user. A particular embodiment of the system includes: receiving an access request from a client for access to a particular requested domain; determining a geo-location for the client; determining a corresponding geo-specific site based on the requested domain and the geo-location of the client; and redirecting the client access request to the corresponding geo-specific site. | 2012-04-26 |
