| 20090157641 | QUERY ROUTING IN DISTRIBUTED DATABASE SYSTEM - A query message is received at a first server of a plurality of servers of a first server type, at least part of data contained in the query message is transformed to a transforming result, based on the transforming result and a first lookup table at said first server, a storage location of a respective second lookup table at one of said plurality of servers of said first type is determined, the respective second lookup table is accessed at the determined storage location of the respective second lookup table at one of said plurality of servers of said first type, and an indicator indicating a storage location of data requested by the query message is retrieved from the respective second lookup table. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090157684 | LOAD DISTRIBUTION IN DISTRIBUTED DATABASE SYSTEM - A state change in a network comprising a master server among a plurality of servers is determined, at the master server, a first lookup table is calculated, said first lookup table indicating respective partitions of a second lookup table distributed among active servers of said plurality of servers, the calculated first lookup table is distributed to each active server, and based on the first lookup table, at the master server, a modified partition of the second lookup table is generated. | 06-18-2009 |

| 20100138226 | Method and Arrangement for Controlling and Charging for Peer-to-Peer Services in an IP-based Communication Network - A system and a method permit P2P services in an IP-based communications network and also permit direct IP-traffic between subscribers in a controlled manner solely for specific P2P applications that are predetermined by the system provider. Other aims are to provide options for carrying out a special billing method for subscribers of P2P services and to enable the detection of the termination of a P2P session of a subscriber in order to withdraw the authorization for the corresponding P2P service in the network of the system provider. The aims are achieved by software containing logic P2P service-specific communication channels in the terminals, each terminal communicating with an index server prior to establishing direct logic communication connections to other terminals in the communications system. The index server then carries out a P2P service-specific access check for each terminal in conjunction with the billing and access check control function. | 06-03-2010 |
