A system and methodologies are disclosed for determining the geographic location of an Internet host. A first method infers host location based on the DNS names of the host of interest or other nearby network nodes. A second method employs network delay measurements from geographically distributed locations to triangulate the coordinates of the host. A third method couples partial host-to-location mapping information obtained from one or more sources with BGP or other routing information in order to infer location of the host of interest.

An arrangement which jointly exploits an agent component installed in a server-side portion of client-server architecture for emulating requests of actual clients of the client-server architecture and measuring a server execution time indicative of a time elapsed between reception of an emulated end-user request at a server component and generation of a result of said emulated end-user request at said server component; information stored in a server log file about a hit end to end response time, i.e., the time elapsed between the instant in which the end-user sends a request to the server component and the instant in which result of the request reaches the end-user. From the server execution time and the hit response time, the delay due to the network connecting the server-side portion of the client-server architecture to a client-side portion may be determined. The network delay and the server execution time are then used for monitoring performance of the client-server architecture by distinguishing network related problems from server-related problems or even from client-related problems.

A method and system are provided for offsetting network latencies in an incremental processing of a search query entered by a user of a device having connectivity to a remote server over a network. The search query is directed at identifying an item from a set of items. In accordance with the method and system, data expected to be of interest to the user is stored in a local memory associated with the device. Upon receiving a key entry or a browse action entry of the search query from the user, the system searches the local memory associated with the device to identify results therein matching the key entry or browse action entry. The results identified in the local memory are displayed on a display associated with the device. Also upon receiving a key entry or a browse action entry of the search query from the user, the system sends the search query to the remote server and retrieves results from the remote server matching the key entry or browse action entry. The results from the remote server are merged with the results from the local memory for displaying on the display. The process is repeated for additional characters or browse actions entered by the user when he or she does not find the desired item on the display.

Traditional networked file systems like NFS do not extend to wide-area due to network latency and dynamics introduced in the WAN environment. To address that problem, a wide-area networked file system is based on a traditional networked file system (NFS / CIFS) and extends to the WAN environment by introducing a file redirector infrastructure residing between the central file server and clients. The file redirector infrastructure is invisible to both the central server and clients so that the change to NFS is minimal. That minimizes the interruption to the existing file service when deploying WireFS on top of NFS. The system includes an architecture for an enterprise-wide read / write wide area network file system, protocols and data structures for metadata and data management in this system, algorithms for history based prefetching for access latency minimization in metadata operations, and a distributed randomized algorithm for the implementation of global LRU cache replacement scheme.

A Fast method of retrieving Internet web pages based on pre-caching of web pages and their objects. Access by web browsers to these objects are faster since the objects are available in the web browser's local memory cache in advance of actually needing them. Thus, when the web browser needs these objects, no network delays are experienced due to having to get them from the web server located some distance away over the Internet. In addition, a computer efficient method is provided that allows for the statistical selection of which objects to pre-cache. This pre-caching method avoids excessive pre-caching of objects that are statistically insignificant but costly in their use of computer resources. Thus, with pre-caching only the objects most likely to be used in subsequent web browser interactions will take up the computer resources in the pre-caching process. A partial-intelligent method is also provided that allows for fast retrieval of complete web pages and their objects when statistical selection of objects can not be provided. In this method, all web page objects that makeup the web pages are pre-cached without consequence of their significance to subsequent web browser interactions. With partial-intelligent pre-caching, all web page objects have equal significance and all objects are pre-cached. Thus, making access to subsequent web pages very fast at the expense of not optimizing computer resource utilization.

Techniques for removing delay fluctuations from network time synchronization so that timing packets that experience an inordinate network delay to not cause unneeded adjustments to a local clock. Time synchronization according to the present techniques includes measuring a network delay associated with a timing packet and discarding the timing packet if the network delay exceeds an adjustable threshold. The adjustable threshold enables balancing the quality of delay measurements in terms of delay fluctuation against the number of delay measurements that are sufficient to maintain time synchronization.

Methods and systems for accelerating data communication by reducing network latency particularly by data compression in which requested data is recursively compressed by an encoder and sent to the requester in codes which may or may not be understood by the requester. The requester can subsequently request data corresponding to unknown codes. The request-reply sequence is also recursive and continues until the requested data is present at the requester. To further accelerate communication, a persistently connected network is employed, together with a new socket layer capable of combining multiple messages from different machines, threads, and / or processes into single TCP / IP packets to be relayed along message hubs in the persistent network. These features are introduced singly and combined to create a new caching network. A new content distribution network can take advantage of these data communication improvements since requested content can be distributed in caches in a caching network.

Systems and methods for utilizing transaction boundary detection methods in queuing and retransmission decisions relating to network traffic are described. By detecting transaction boundaries and sizes, a client, server, or intermediary device may prioritize based on transaction sizes in queuing decisions, giving precedence to smaller transactions which may represent interactive and / or latency-sensitive traffic. Further, after detecting a transaction boundary, a device may retransmit one or more additional packets prompting acknowledgements, in order to ensure timely notification if the last packet of the transaction has been dropped. Systems and methods for potentially improving network latency, including retransmitting a dropped packet twice or more in order to avoid incurring additional delays due to a retransmitted packet being lost are also described.

In current multimedia communication systems using session initiation protocols such as SIP, a service change (e.g. adding a new media type to an existing multimedia conversation) entails significant delays and processor load in both clients and server. The current invention solves this by separating session signaling and media control signaling in different signaling channels (141,142) and by eliminating the need to re-establish SIP sessions for each service change. The application server (120) maintains a list of all media types supported by each multimedia client (110) involved in a multimedia conversation. Each multimedia client (110) requesting to send one or several media streams with different media types to one or several other multimedia client(s) negotiates with the application server (120) only. The inventive concept significantly reduces networks delays and speeds up the service change as perceived by the user. The invention is of interest for various multimedia conferencing applications.
