A data transport system for transporting data between a server (21) and a client receiver (27) over a network (23) includes a receiving proxy cache (25) coupled to a client receiver (27) via a reliable connection (29), such as a cable connection. The majority of data is transported from the server (21) to the receiving proxy cache (25) over an efficient data transmission channel (41). The receiving proxy cache (25) verifies the status of the data transmitted over the efficient channel (41). If there is an error in the data transmission, a portion of the data associated with the error is retransmitted from the server (21) to the receiving proxy cache (25) over a reliable data transmission channel (43). The complete data at the receiving proxy cache (25) is delivered to a client receiver (27) over a reliable connection (29).

Embodiments of the invention are directed to methods and systems for providing efficient, scalable and reliable transport of large media files to multiple receivers over digital video broadcast (DVB) standards-based broadcast networks. Transport Reliability is achieved using Forward Error Correction (FEC) and a selective, Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) mechanism over an IP-based unicast feedback path. Out-of-band command and control messages over DVB network are used for initiation and coordination between sender and receivers.

The invention enables the use of TCP protocol for reliable transport of data over a wireless network, resolving the problems associated with frequent packet loss. Additional benefits include delivery of significant performance improvement, bandwidth saving and backward compatibility compared to the wire-line TCP protocol, and contribution to power savings in wireless handsets and devices. To make the retransmission process more granular, transport layer segments are subdivided into sub-segments. The invention utilizes a split TCP based approach and produces a series of smaller-sized segments that share the same transport layer header. A NACK-based message exchange, a new header format and a special windowing protocol are used to achieve reliability, flow-control, and efficient buffer handling.

Techniques for providing reliable transport of data across a network between a server on a server device and a client on a client device include a process on the client device which determines a number of packets to be sent by the server device without an acknowledgement message from the client device. The number of packets is based on considerations of network problems. A data packet sent to a server device includes a first field holding data indicating the number of packets to be sent by the server device without an acknowledgement message from the client device. Accordingly, a transport layer process on a client device to download large amounts of content from a stateless transport layer process on a server device, substantially reducing the computational resources consumed by the server device in serving thousands of clients.

A web-based hosted solution through which application developers create, manage and monitor application usage analytics in an online manner. Preferably, an application under test is one of: application software, a script-enabled web application, or a rich Internet application (RIA). During the development process, a usage monitoring API is integrated into the application and the application is deployed. As users interact with the application, a log file is generated, typically in one of two ways. If the application is able to write to a local file system (in the user's machine), usage information is gathered in a log file local to the deployed application and then dispatched to an upload server for processing in a batch manner. If the application is not able to write to the user machine's local file system, the usage information is sent to a remote logging server, preferably on a just-in-time basis, and then the log file is generated on the logging server. In either case, preferably the usage information that is tracked comprises “features,”“faults” and “failures” of the application, independent of platform, location, and number of deployed application instances.
