| 20150189008 | DATA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A data communication system includes a centralized server arrangement coupled via a communication network arrangement to a plurality of client devices. The centralized server arrangement and the plurality of client devices exchange data. The system allocates the data into a primary type of data and at least a secondary type of data. The primary data is communicated substantially immediately within the system, and the at least secondary data is communicated in the system in association with corresponding acknowledgements (ACK) in response to receipt and processing of the at least secondary type of data at one or more of the client devices. At least one of the one or more client devices is optionally a wireless-enabled mobile communication device or a wirelessly-connected personal computer (PC). | 2015-07-02 |
| 20150189009 | DISTRIBUTED MULTI-LEVEL STATELESS LOAD BALANCING - A capability is provided for performing distributed multi-level stateless load balancing. The stateless load balancing may be performed for load balancing of connections of a stateful-connection protocol (e.g., Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections, Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) connections, or the like). The stateless load balancing may be distributed across multiple hierarchical levels. The multiple hierarchical levels may be distributed across multiple network locations, geographic locations, or the like. | 2015-07-02 |
