TL;DR: In this paper, a method for monitoring client interaction with a resource downloaded from a server (10) in a computer network includes the steps of using a client (12) to specify an address of a resource located on a first server, downloading a file corresponding to the resource from the first server in response to specification of the address, using the client to specify a first executable program located on another server, the address of the first executable programs being embedded in the file downloaded from the second server, and a software timer for monitoring the amount of time the client(12) spends interacting with
Abstract: A method for monitoring client (12) interaction with a resource downloaded from a server (10) in a computer network includes the steps of using a client (12) to specify an address of a resource located on a first server (10), downloading a file corresponding to the resource from the first server (10) in response to specification of the address, using the client (12) to specify an address of a first executable program located on a second server (10), the address of the first executable program being embedded in the file downloaded from the first server (10), the first executable program including a software timer for monitoring the amount of time the client (12) spends interacting with and displaying the file downloaded from the first server (10), downloading the first executable program from the second server to run on the client (12) so as to determine the amount of time the client (12) interacts with the file downloaded from the first server (10). A server (10) for use in analysis and automatically serving out files assembled according to user interests and preferences.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a client-server system where a local client computer provides a user interface to interact with at least one remote server computer which implements data processing in response to the local client computers.
Abstract: Client-server systems and methods for transferring data via a network, including a wireless network, between a server (61) and one or more clients (41) or browsers that are spatially distributed (i.e., situated at different locations). At least one local client computer provides a user interface to interact with at least one remote server computer which implements data processing in response to the local client computer. The user interface may be a browser or a thin client.

TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for voice transmission over high level network protocols is presented, where variable compression based on silence detection takes advantage of the natural silences and pauses in human speech, thus reducing the delays in transmission caused by using HTTP/TCP.
Abstract: A system and method for voice transmission over high level network protocols. On the Internet and the World Wide Web, such high level protocols are HTTP/TCP. The restrictions imposed by firewalls and proxy servers are avoided by using HTTP level connections to transmit voice data. In addition, packet delivery guarantees are obtained by using TCP instead of UDP. Variable compression based on silence detection takes advantage of the natural silences and pauses in human speech, thus reducing the delays in transmission caused by using HTTP/TCP. The silence detection includes the ability to bookend the voice data sent with small portions of silence to insure that the voice sounds natural. Finally, the voice data is transmitted to each client computer independently from a common circular list of voice data, thus insuring that all clients will stay current with the most recent voice data. The combination of these features enables simple, seamless, and interactive Internet conferencing.

TL;DR: In this paper, a distributed data storage system for sharing data among client computers running different types of operating systems by separating metadata from data is presented. But the client computers communicate with the metadata servers using a Storage Tank protocol and over a control network.
Abstract: A distributed data storage system for sharing data among client computers running different types of operating systems by separating metadata from data. Data is stored in storage pools that are accessed by the client computers through a storage network. Metadata is stored in a metadata store and provided to the client computers by a cluster of metadata servers. The client computers communicate with the metadata servers using a Storage Tank protocol and over a control network. Each client computer runs an operating system-specific client program that provides the client side functions of the Storage Tank protocol. The client program preferably includes a file system interface for communicating with the file system in the storage system and user applications, a client state manager for providing data consistency, and a plurality of operating system services for communicating with the metadata servers.

30 Mar 1998TL;DR: Content-aware flow switches as discussed by the authors intercepts a client content request in an IP network, and transparently directs the content request to a best-fit server based on the type of content requested, the quality of service requirements implied by the content requests, the degree of load on available servers, network congestion information, and the proximity of the client to available servers.
Abstract: A content-aware flow switch intercepts a client content request in an IP network, and transparently directs the content request to a best-fit server. The best-fit server is chosen based on the type of content requested, the quality of service requirements implied by the content request, the degree of load on available servers, network congestion information, and the proximity of the client to available servers. The flow switch detects client-server flows based on the arrival of TCP SYNs and/or HTTP GETs from the client. The flow switch implicitly deduces the quality of service requirements of a flow based on the content of the flow. The flow switch also provides the functionality of multiple physical web servers on a single web server in a way that is transparent to the client, through the use of virtual web hosts and flow pipes.
