A source computer 8 stores updated data that is to be distributed to a plurality of destination computers (12 to 30). The destination computers (12 to 30) are divided into groups sharing a common priority level (5, 4, 3, 2, 1). Each of these groups is then associated with a push update task to be executed by the source computer 8. These push update tasks are then sequentially executed. If a particular group of destination computers exceeds a threshold size, then it may be further divided in accordance with a hierarchy of splitting rules. The push update tasks use multicasting to transfer the update data to the destination computers within their groups in a manner that reduces network traffic.

A crypto-ignition process is needed to establish an encrypted communication protocol between two devices connected by an insecure communication link. The present invention introduces a method of creating an identical secret key to two communicating parties is conducted between a thin device and a server computer over an insecure data network. The thin device generally has limited computing power and working memory and the server computer may communicate with a plurality of such thin devices. To ensure the security of the secret key on both sides and reduce traffic in the network, only a pair of public values is exchanged between the thin device and the server computer over the data network. Each side generates its own secret key from a self-generated private value along with the received counterpart's public value according to a commonly used key agreement protocol, such as the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol. To ensure that the generated secret keys are identical on both sides, a verification process is followed by exchanging a message encrypted by one of two generated secret keys. The secret keys are proved to be identical and secret when the encrypted message is successfully decrypted by the other secret key. To reduce network traffic, the verification process is piggybacked with a session request from the thin device to establish a secure and authentic communication session with the server computer. The present invention enables the automatic delivery of the secret keys, without requiring significant computing power and working memory, between each of the thin clients respectively with the server computer.

A computer network server using HTTP (Web) server software combined with foreground view composer software, background view composer software, a view tile cache, view tile cache garbage collector software, and image files provides image view data to client workstations using graphical Web browsers to display the view of an image from the server. Problems with specialized client workstation image view software are eliminated by using the Internet and industry standards-based graphical Web browsers for the client software. Network and system performance problems that previously existed when accessing large image files from a network file server are eliminated by tiling the image view so that computation and transmission of the view data can be done in an incremental fashion. The view tiles are cached on the client workstation to further reduce network traffic. View tiles are cached on the server to reduce the amount of view tile computation and to increase responsiveness of the image view server.

In a networked information system, a portion of the information processing is offloaded from servers to a storage system to reduce network traffic and conserve server resources. The information system includes a storage system storing files or objects and having a function which automatically extracts portions of text from the files and transmits the extracted text to the servers. The text extraction is responsive to file requests from the servers. The extracted text and files are stored on the storage system, decreasing the need to send entire files across the network. Thus, by transmitting smaller extracted text data instead of entire files over the network, network performance can be increased through the reduction of traffic. Additionally, the processing strain on physical resources of the servers can be reduced by extracting the text at the storage system rather than at the servers.

A networking conferencing and collaboration tool utilizing an enhanced T.128 application sharing protocol. This enhanced protocol is based on a per-host model command, control, and communication structure. This per-host model reduces network traffic, allows greater scalability through dynamic system resource allocation, allows a single host to establish and maintain a share session with no other members present. The per-host model allows private communication between the host and a remote with periodic broadcasts of updates by the host to the entire share group. This per-host model also allows the host to allow, revoke, pause, and invite control of the shared applications. Subsequent passing of control is provided, also with the hosts acceptance. The model contains no fixed limit on the number of participants, and dynamically allocates resources when needed to share or control a shared application. These resources are then freed when no longer needed.

A source storage server receives various write requests from a set of clients, logs each request in local memory, and forwards each log entry to a destination storage server at a secondary site. At a consistency point, the source storage server saves data, modified per the requests, to a first set of mass storage devices, and also initiates a synchronization phase during which process the modified data is mirrored at the secondary site. The destination storage server uses data in the received log entries to mirror at least a portion of the modified data in a second set of mass storage devices located at the secondary site, such that said portion of the modified data does not have to be sent from the source storage server to the destination storage server at the consistency point.

An apparatus and system are disclosed for reducing network traffic using a shared network response cache. A request filter module intercepts a network request to prevent the network request from entering a data network. The network request is sent by a client and is intended for one or more recipients on the data network. A cache check module checks a shared response cache for an entry matching the network request. A local response module sends a local response to the client in response to an entry in the shared response cache matching the network request. The local response satisfies the network request based on information from the matching entry in the shared response cache.

Embodiments of the invention provide techniques and systems for reducing network traffic in relation to ray-tracing a three dimensional scene. According to one embodiment of the invention, as a ray is traversed through a spatial index, a leaf node may be reached. Subsequent rays that traverse through the spatial index may reach the same leaf node. In contrast to sending information defining a ray issued by the workload manager to a vector throughput engine each time a ray reaches a leaf node, the workload manager may determine if a series of rays reach the same leaf node and send information defining the series of rays to the vector throughput engine. Thus, network traffic may be reduced by sending information which defines a series of rays which are traversed to a common (i.e., the same) leaf node in contrast to sending information each time a ray is traversed to a leaf node.
