20090067440 | Systems and Methods for Bridging a WAN Accelerator with a Security Gateway - The solution described herein provides systems and methods for the interoperability of network processing programs that process network packets at different levels of the network stack. This solution bridges the communications of a network packet between a first network processing program operating at a first level of a network stack in an intermediary and a second network processing program operating at a second level of the network stack of the intermediary. The first network processing program may modify an incoming network packet so that the packet may traverse the network stack to an upper level of the stack to the second network processing program. After processing the network packet at the upper layers of the stack or by the second network processing program, the first network processing program modifies the network pack in order to transmit the packet to the intended destination while traversing the intermediary. | 03-12-2009 |
20090201828 | METHOD OF DETERMINING PATH MAXIMUM TRANSMISSION UNIT - Network endpoints using TCP/IP operate to determine the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the path between them. This determination is done so as to avoid the expensive IP fragmentation that will occur when transitting links with a smaller MTU size. The standard method of determining the path MTU (PMTU) has several known deficiencies, including: inefficient use of bandwidth as proper operation will likely result in the loss of one or more packets and difficulty of implementation as the reverse channel communication mechanism, reception of ICMP messages indicating the discarding of unfragmentable packets, is frequently blocked by firewalls and other security apparatus. | 08-13-2009 |

20120089781 | MECHANISM FOR RETRIEVING COMPRESSED DATA FROM A STORAGE CLOUD - A cloud storage appliance receives one or more read requests for data stored in a storage cloud. The cloud storage appliance determines, for a time period, a total amount of bandwidth that will be used to retrieve the requested data from the storage cloud. The cloud storage appliance then determines an amount of remaining bandwidth for the time period. The cloud storage appliance retrieves the requested data from the storage cloud in the time period to satisfy the one or more read requests. The cloud storage appliance additionally retrieves a quantity of unrequested data from the storage cloud in the time period, wherein the quantity of retrieved unrequested data is based on the amount of remaining bandwidth for the time period. | 04-12-2012 |
