Abstract
The present invention is generally directed towards a remote access architecture for providing peer-to-peer communications and remote access connectivity. In one embodiment, the remote access architecture of the present invention provides a method for establishing a direct connection between peer computing devices via a third computing device, such as a gateway. Additionally, the present invention provides the following techniques to optimize peer-to-peer communications: 1) false acknowledgement of receipt of network packets allowing communications via a lossless protocol of packets constructed for transmission via a lossy protocol, 2) payload shifting of network packets allowing communications via a lossless protocol of packets constructed for transmission via a lossy protocol, 3) reduction of packet fragmentation by adjusting the maximum transmission unit (MTU) parameter, accounting for overhead due to encryption, 4) application-aware prioritization of client-side network communications, and 5) network disruption shielding for reliable and persistent network connectivity and access.

Block-based communication in a communication services patterns environment

TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for transmitting data from a server to a client via blocks is described, where a user query for a solution set is transmitted to a server, which is then used to query a database for a first subset of the solution set, and when a second request from the client for the data in the database of the server is received, a second block of the data sets is queried from the database, built and then transmitted to the client over the network.
