Abstract:
1. A method for improving performance of networking applications which receive network data from a computer network and which are executable on any one of a plurality of data processing means of a network server computer, comprising: establishing a data transfer connection between a first data processing means of the plurality of data processing means of the network server computer and the computer network; sending data on said data transfer connection by means of a given networking application of a plurality of networking applications executable on the network server computer, said given networking application running on a second data processing means of the plurality of data processing means of the network server computer; determining a data transfer rate of said data transfer connection from the sent data; storing an identification of the first data processing in an encapsulating data structure encapsulating the network data for propagation to a transport layer of the network server computer; and causing the transport layer of the network server computer to move the networking application to the first data processing means of the network server computer if the data transfer rate exceeds a predefined threshold.
