TCP performance is improved over unreliable links so as to allow TCP connections to be set up when such connections are otherwise impossible. Out-of-band signaling may be used to synchronizing and establishing a connection between two TCP endpoints without modification to the TCP/IP protocol suite. A system may create a control channel to enable out-of-band signaling for TCP connection establishment between two TCP endpoints. The control channel may be achieved using a system that includes of a signaling broker, an agent application, and a virtual network interface and a capture module that together create the control channel for the TCP signaling traffic.

A process and system for adapting an application created without regard to protocol or device to a particular protocol and device. An application developer may create content in an object oriented fashion using application programming interfaces (APIs) provided by the system. The resultant content may be protocol independent and device independent. When processed by the system, the system may first take the protocol independent and device independent content and render it to become protocol dependent and device independent using engines provided by the system. The system may then take the protocol dependent and device independent content and adapt it based on a resource descriptive framework (RDF) for a device to become protocol dependent and device dependent.

A method and framework for transaction synchronization. An embodiment of the present invention first involves “cloning” the middle tier business logic layer from a server onto a client. The framework allows the cloned business logic on the client and the business logic layer on the server to operate independently without a connection. Therefore, the server-side and client-side applications can fully operate without a connection. When a connection is established, the framework synchronizes (reconciles according to defined rules) transactions (i.e., execution of functions) so that transactions resulting from the execution of a function on the business logic layer on the client is equivalent to a transaction resulting from a execution of a function on the business logic layer on the server. Embodiments of the invention may also be used in peer-to-peer environments.

Firewalls and network address translators (NAT) provide many advantages for client and the Internet itself, however, these devices break many existing transmission control protocol (TCP)/Internet Protocol (IP) applications, since they conceal the identity of IP clients (i.e., peers) and block transmission control protocol (TCP) call setup requests. Firewalls and NATs make it impossible for one TCP peer to discover another and establish a connection. Embodiments of this invention provides a system and a protocol to enable two TCP peers that exist behind one or more firewalls and NATs to automatically setup a true peer-to-peer TCP connection and exchange data without making changes to the firewall or NAT devices or existing TCP-based applications. In embodiments of this invention, the synchronization between the blind TCP peers is achieved using a system that consists of a registration server, an agent application, and a virtual network interface that together relay and replicate the control signals between the two TCP peers. In addition, embodiments of this invention are also used to traverse the NAT and establish a bi-directional peer-to-peer TCP connection in the firewall.

In certain environments all or part of the TCP signaling traffic may be lost before reaching one or both TCP endpoints, leading to no connection establishment or slow page download times. Embodiments of this invention improve TCP performance over unreliable links and allow TCP connections to be set up when otherwise not possible. Embodiments of this invention include the use of out-of-band signaling for TCP to synchronizing and establishing a connection between two TCP endpoints without modification to the TCP/IP protocol suite. Embodiments of this invention provide a system that creates a control channel to enable out-of-band signaling for TCP connection establishment between two TCP endpoints. In embodiments of this invention, the control channel used for the out-of-band signaling traffic between the TCP endpoints (or peers) is achieved using a system that consists of a signaling broker, an agent application, and a virtual network interface and capture module that together create control channel for the TCP signaling traffic. Embodiments of this invention include a protocol to execute out-of-band signaling for TCP.

Tunneling is a mechanism used to aggregate payloads from a network protocol at or below the tunneling layer into a single packet. A user-space application establishes a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) tunnel and encapsulates an end-to-end TCP payload into a TCP segment for transmission over a TCP connection. This enhanced TCP tunnel eliminates TCP meltdown and can be used over any network which supports TCP. The calling application either identifies the parameters of an existing TCP socket or establishes a new TCP socket. A modified transport layer uses the identified TCP connection in forming the enhanced TCP tunnel. The enhanced TCP tunnel manages the data transmission on the TCP stack to eliminate TCP meltdown.
