Patent ID: 7962654

Claim:
A system for transporting data through a limited bandwidth computer network comprising: at least one front-end device comprising an interface to communicate request/response traffic with one or more clients, said request/response traffic comprising one or more data packets of a first type, said one or more clients configured to communicate said request/response traffic with one or more servers according to a preselected sequence of requests from said one or more clients and responses from said one or more servers, said preselected sequence of requests and responses defined by a communications protocol implemented by the one or more clients and the one or more servers; at least one back-end device comprising an interface to communicate said request/response traffic with said one or more servers, said one or more servers configured to communicate said request/response traffic with said one or more clients according to said preselected sequence of requests from said one or more clients and responses from said one or more servers; and at least one communication channel between said at least one front-end device and said at least one back-end device, said at least one communication channel configured to transport said request/response traffic between said at least one front-end device and said back-end device in one or more data packets of a second type; wherein said at least one front-end device and said at least one back-end device implement preselected compatible semantics to encode and decode said request/response traffic between data packets of said first and second types for communication through said at least one communication channel, wherein said preselected compatible semantics encode and decode said request/response traffic according to said preselected sequence of requests from said one or more clients and responses from said one or more servers to limit bandwidth utilization by said at least one front-end device and said at least one back-end device.
