20130138730 | AUTOMATED CLIENT/SERVER OPERATION PARTITIONING - An operation (such as a relational query) may be processed on a processing engine (such as a relational database server) on behalf of a client. A conventional processing involves the delivery of the operation to the processing engine, which executes the entire operation to completion and returns a result data set. It may be more efficient to allocate part of the operation to be performed on the client, but a developer may be unable or unavailable to rewrite the operation in a distributed manner. Instead, the operation may be automatically partitioned into a pre-engine client portion, a processing engine portion, and a client portion, and the instructions of each portion may be automatically allocated respectively to the client, the server, and the client. The partitioning may be adjusted to conserve computing resources, such as bandwidth and storage, and the instructions may be reordered to improve the processing of the operation. | 2013-05-30 |

The first communications protocol may comprise data over cable service interface specification (DOCSIS) or any protocol that provides a GTOD. The second communication protocol may comprise a multimedia over cable alliance (MoCA) standard, an IEEE 802.11x standard, or any non-public wireless network protocol. The GTOD clock may comprise a GPS clock, a GLONASS clock, and/or a Galileo clock. One or more of the networked devices may comprise a network controller, where the network controller comprises wireless network and wired network capability. | 2013-05-30 |
20130138827 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR NETWORK DATA FLOW MANAGEMENT - A network data flow management device including: a working packet module configured to store data related to a data flow; at least one network interface connected to the working packet module for receiving and sending data related to data flows; and a processor configured to: receive data from the working packet module and determine if the data flow matches a predetermined protocol; and if the data flow matches the predetermined protocol, send predictive acknowledgments based on the data flow via the network interface. A method for network data flow management including: monitoring a data flow for a predetermined protocol; if the data flow matches the predetermined protocol, saving data relating to the data flow; and creating and sending a predictive acknowledgement packet related to the data flow. | 2013-05-30 |
20130138828 | MANAGING STREAMING BANDWIDTH FOR MULTIPLE CLIENTS - A method, system and a computer program product. The method may include: allocating or receiving allocated bit rates to a plurality of streaming media flows, each streaming media flow comprises a plurality of chunks and is expected to flow over a last mile channel that is bandwidth limited; receiving a plurality of chunk requests from clients that are hosted on user devices, each chunk request indicates a requested bit rate for streaming a media chunk that belongs to the streaming media flow; changing at least one chunk request to comply with an allocated bit rate, if the requested bit rate does not comply with the allocated bit rate, to provide at least one new chunk request; and sending the at least one new chunk request to a media streamer that is expected to stream the streaming media flow to the user device. | 2013-05-30 |
20130138829 | SCALABLE VIDEO CODING OVER REAL-TIME TRANSPORT PROTOCOL - Systems and methods for streaming video data via Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) so that the bitrate of the streamed video adapts in response to measurements of network and decoder performance in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. In one embodiment of the invention, a system for streaming data includes a media server configured to stream video data having a first maximum bitrate utilizing RTP, a network client configured to connect to the media server wherein the network client is configured to measure network performance and video decoding performance and to send network and video decoder performance data to the network renderer utilizing the Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP), wherein the network renderer is configured to stream video data having a second maximum bitrate in response to the network and video decoding performance data received from the network client. | 2013-05-30 |
