Local surgical cockpits comprising local surgical consoles that can communicate with any desired remote surgical module (surgical robot), for example via a shared Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) or other unified open source communication protocol or other suitable communication system. The systems and methods, etc., herein can also comprise a modular approach wherein multiple surgical consoles can network supporting collaborative surgery regardless of the physical location of the surgeons relative to each other and/or relative to the surgical site. Thus, for example, an operator operating a local surgical cockpit can teleoperate using a remote surgical module on a patient in the same room as the surgeon, or surgeons located in multiple safe locations can telemanipulate remote multiple surgical robots on a patient in or close to a war zone.

The present invention provides efficient and effective quality of service for information that is time sensitive (e.g., real time data). An intermediate network communication system and method (e.g., a router) of the present invention performs cut through switching to reduce latency problems for time sensitive information. In one embodiment of the present invention, communication packet header information is encoded with a time sensitive identifier that identifies the information as time sensitive. In one exemplary transfer control protocol/internet protocol TCP/IP implementation of the present invention, time sensitive indication is provided in the link layer information. In one embodiment of the present invention, time sensitive information is dropped if the intermediate network device can not communicate the information within specified timing constraints. In one embodiment of the present invention time sensitive information is cut through routed on a virtual channel and pre-empts non time sensitive information. In one embodiment a communication path probe is cut through routed via intermediate network devices to establish a communication path before other information is communicated from a originating source to a final destination. In one embodiment the present invention leverages previously collected information to establish a communication path. In one embodiment the present invention, an intermediate network device establishes a second communication link if a first communication link is unavailable.

The present invention provides a transfer control protocol handoff notification (TCPHN) mechanism for a wireless network by which hosts connected through the wireless network via a transfer control protocol (TCP) connection can be notified in the event a handoff occurs. The TCPHN mechanism allows hosts connected in TCP to avoid TCP timeouts and reduce any adverse effect on transmission performance. The TCPHN mechanism of the present invention can be used in relation to any TCP connection between any transmitting and receiving host where at least one of the transmitting and receiving hosts is mobile and subject to handoffs. In one embodiment for example, the TCPHN mechanism is used in relation to a TCP connection between a mobile host in a wireless network and a non-mobile server host in a connecting Internet protocol (IP) network.

A device, method, system and computer readable medium allows for a fast recovery of a communication connection in response to a newly assigned Wide Area Network (“WAN”) Internet protocol (“IP”) source address. In an embodiment of the present invention, a device provides communication between a WAN and a short distance wireless network. The device comprises a memory to store a first and a second WAN address for the device and a router software component. The processor and router software component transfers a first plurality of packets between the device and the wide area network using the first wide area network address. The processor and router software component discontinues the transfer of the first plurality of packets responsive to receiving the second wide area network address and transfers a second plurality of packets between the device and the wide area network using the second wide area network address. The second newly assigned WAN address may have been assigned by the WAN after a disconnection of communication between the device and a server in the WAN. In an embodiment of the present invention, the router software includes a plurality of private IP addresses for respective terminals, in the short distance wireless network, associated with the WAN IP address. In an embodiment of the present invention, a Point-to-Point (“PPP”) connection or Transfer Control Protocol (“TCP”) connection is discontinued and then initiated in response to a newly assigned WAN IP address in order to quickly recover a communication connection between terminals in the short distance wireless network and the WAN.

The invention discloses a data transmission method and a virtual peer-to-peer network for data transmission, and the data transmission method comprises the following steps: increasing a virtual IP layer at an IP layer of an original (TCP/IP, Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) network protocol stack of a client, thereby obtaining the public network IP address which corresponds to the virtual network IP address from a server and packaging the virtual network IP address as the corresponding public network IP address when taking the virtual network IP address as the target network IP address; and obtaining routing path information to the public network IP address from a routing information table stored in the server and carrying out the corresponding treatment according to the obtained routing path information. When a VPN network is constructed by applying the invention, the server does not need to forward data any longer, thereby reducing the data transmission time delay, simplifying the requirements on the performances of the server and the bandwidth and improving the network transmission efficiency.

The invention relates to a network speed test method and a network speed test system. The method includes the following steps: a network speed test request is sent into a waiting queue of a server by a client to be queued; if the judgment result of the server is test starting, then the server judges the variety of a test mode; if the test mode is pressure test, then the server sends a speed-testing command to the client, and cooperates with the client to carry out a TCP (transfer control protocol) network speed test and/or an HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol) network speed test; if the test mode is sequence test, whether the TCP network speed test and/or the HTTP network speed test are/is executed by the current server is judged, if so, then a waiting command is sent to the client, and if not, then the server cooperates with the client to carry out the TCP network speed test and/or the HTTP network speed test. The invention can visually and objectively test the speed of all broadband networks to provide reliable technical support for users to obtain accurate bandwidth data of operators.
