PERMANENT CONNECTION ORIENTED COMMUNICATION USING PARALLEL SINGLE CONNECTION CIRCUITS

摘要

Methods, systems, and techniques for providing a pseudo permanent communications connection using temporary connection protocols are described. Example embodiments provide a Enhanced Communications Layer that provides such connections by means of a layer incorporated in the client side and server side communications stacks. The ECL maintains a pool of connections that are opened and used in a staggered fashion to reduce the amount of connection setup and teardown.

主权项

1. A method in a client computing system for providing a pseudo permanent communication connection by using a pool of communication connections, comprising:
receiving a first request to send data to a server; opening a first communications data connection from the pool of communication connections to the server in response to the first request; transmitting, over the opened first communications data connection, the first request to send data; opening a second communications data connection from the pool of communication connections to the server; receiving a second request to send data to the server; determining whether a response to the first request has been received over first communications data connection; first transmitting, over the opened first communications data connection, the second request to send data when a response to the first request has been received over the first communications data connection; and second transmitting, over the opened second communications data connection, the second request to send data when a response to the first request has yet to be received over the first communications data connection.
