Abstract:
1. A method for managing push data transfers comprising: receiving a push data transfer request at a push data server from a content server for push delivery of content to one of a plurality of computing devices; comparing a counter representing a number of push data transfers concurrently being effected from the push data server to the plurality of computing devices to a maximum number of concurrent push data transfers permitted to be effected from the push data server to the plurality of computing devices; when the counter is less than the maximum, beginning a push data transfer of the content to the one computing device from the push data server, and incrementing the counter; when an acknowledgement indicating that the push data transfer is completed is received, decrementing the counter; and when no acknowledgement indicating that the push data transfer is completed is received within a predefined time limit, deeming the push data transfer to be completed and decrementing the counter without terminating the push data transfer.
