Abstract:
In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for a updating software in a plurality of devices coupled to one another in a communicating relationship through a local network, the method comprising receiving a descriptor file for a software update at the first device from a remote source outside the local network, the descriptor file including a hash code for each of a plurality of update sub-files and an order for assembling the update sub-files into the software update, downloading the plurality of update sub-files to the first device from a remote source outside the local network until the sub-files identified in the descriptor file are present on the first device, where a presence of the sub-files is evaluated using the hash codes in the descriptor file, and broadcasting every one of the plurality of update sub-files from the first device to the number of other devices.

Claim (Index 31):
A method of updating a threat management policy among computers in a local network, the method comprising:\n receiving a descriptor file at a first device of a plurality of local computing devices coupled in a communicating relationship to one another through a local network that supports broadcast communications, the descriptor file including a hash code for each of a plurality of update sub-files and indicating an order in which the plurality of update sub-files assemble into the threat management policy update; determining if the threat management policy update is relevant to a resident threat management policy on the first device based on matching an identifier for the threat management policy update contained in the descriptor file to an identifier for the resident threat management policy on the first device; if the threat management policy update is relevant to the resident threat management policy on the first device, determining that one of the plurality of update sub-files is not stored in a memory of the first device based on a comparison of a corresponding one of the hash codes included in the descriptor file with the hash code for one or more of the plurality of update sub-files currently stored in the memory; downloading the one of the plurality of update sub-files to the first device; broadcasting the one of the plurality of update sub-files from the first device to other ones of the plurality of local computing devices using a broadcast protocol of the local network; and comparing the hash codes of the update sub-files provided in the descriptor file to the hash codes for sub-files stored in the memory of the first device and, if all sub-files are found to be in the memory of the first device, assembling the threat management policy update from the plurality of update sub-files and installing the threat management policy update.
