Problems solved by technology

[0009] Unfortunately, although there are several content retrieval technologies for changing the interface used by the server and / or by the client to change the content retrieval server and / or by the client, none of these technologies can support existing client applications, while Maintain compatibility with existing or evolving transport protocols

Embodiment Construction

[0022] A general capability is shown and described herein that enables multi-homed or mobile hosts to change the server delivering the content as well as the interface used by the client in a manner transparent to the content retrieval application, however it is to be noted that Various other related and / or unrelated capabilities may be disclosed.

[0023] Various embodiments support existing client applications within multi-homed or mobile hosts that change the servers delivering content for content retrieval as well as the interfaces used by clients while maintaining compatibility with existing Compatible with evolved transport protocols.

[0024] Various embodiments are applicable to mobile and / or multi-homed hosts using applications for content retrieval from servers located on a network. Examples for such content retrieval sessions include: downloads from web servers such as during web browsing sessions, web-based video streaming sessions, HTTP-based file transfer sessio...

Abstract

A controller function residing underneath a client application in a TCP / IP stack or session layer monitors state and status information associated with session-based application layer functions (e.g., content retrieval) and uses this information to migrate one or more sessions from a first client interface to a second client interface (e.g., 3G, 4G, LTE, 802.1 1x, WiMAX) and to a different application function serving entity (e.g., a different content server, cache server, service provider).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to multi-homed or mobile hosting, and more particularly, but not exclusively, to providing seamless session migration for content retrieval as host transfers between communication networks. Background technique [0002] A mobile or multihomed host may have to change its layer 3 network access point (ie, IP address) when running a content retrieval session, for example when a client is retrieving data from a remote server. Such interface changes may be desirable because the "new" interface has a higher link quality or experiences less network congestion than the "old" interface. The interface may also have to change when a user moves from the coverage area of ​​one network to the coverage area of ​​another network. [0003] For the client's new interface, a different server may be better suited to deliver data than the server sending data to the host's old interface. This is probably due to the new interface of ...
