Method and computer program product utilizing multiple UDP data packets to transfer a quantity of data otherwise in excess of a single UDP packet
View Patent ↗A method and computer program product provide the capability to use UDP to send messages that include more data than can be handled by a single UDP packet. A method for performing data transfer implemented in a computer system comprises transmitting a request for data, receiving a response to the request for data comprising a portion of the requested data and an indication that additional data is available, and transmitting a request for additional data.
1. A method for performing data transfer implemented in a computer system comprising:
transmitting a request for data;
receiving a response to the request for data comprising a portion of the requested data and an indication that additional data is available; and
transmitting a request for the additional data which the received response indicated is available;
wherein the response to the request for data further comprises an indication of an amount of the additional data that is available;
wherein the response further comprises a pseudo-Internet Protocol address;
wherein the pseudo-Internet Protocol address comprises the indication of the amount of the additional data that is available.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method uses User Datagram Protocol.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the transmitted request for data includes a domain.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the transmitted request for data comprises a lookup request for a domain sent to a Domain Name Server Blacklist/Realtime Blackhole List.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request for the additional data comprises a pseudo-domain indicating that the additional data is being requested.
6. A method for performing data transfer implemented in a computer system comprising:
a) transmitting a request for data using User Datagram Protocol;
b) receiving a response to the request for data using the User Datagram Protocol, the response comprising a portion of the requested data that fits in a User Datagram Protocol packet and an indication that additional data is available;
c) transmitting a request for the additional data, which the received response indicated is available, using the User Datagram Protocol; and
d) repeating steps b)-c) until a response is received indicating that no additional data is available;
wherein the response to the request for data further comprises an indication of an amount of the additional data that is available;
wherein the response further comprises a pseudo-Internet Protocol address;
wherein the pseudo-Internet Protocol address comprises the indication of the amount of the additional data that is available.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the transmitted request for data includes a domain.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the transmitted request for data comprises a lookup request for a domain sent to a Domain Name Server Blacklist/Realtime Blackhole List.
9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the request for the additional data comprises a pseudo-domain indicating that the additional data is being requested.
10. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium for storing instructions for performing operations comprising:
transmitting a request for data using User Datagram Protocol;
receiving a response to the request for data using the User Datagram Protocol, the response comprising a portion of the requested data that fits in a User Datagram Protocol packet and an indication that additional data is available;
transmitting a request for the additional data, which the received response indicated is available, using the User Datagram Protocol;
wherein the response to the request for data further comprises an indication of an amount of the additional data that is available;
wherein the response further comprises a pseudo-Internet Protocol address;
wherein the pseudo-Internet Protocol address comprises the indication of the amount of the additional data that is available.
11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the transmitted request for data includes a domain.
12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the transmitted request for data comprises a lookup request for a domain sent to a Domain Name Server Blacklist/Real-time Blackhole List.
13. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the request for the additional data comprises a pseudo-domain indicating that the additional data is being requested.
14. A method for performing data transfer implemented in a computer system comprising:
a) transmitting a request for data using User Datagram Protocol;
b) receiving a response to the request for data using the User Datagram Protocol, the response comprising a portion of the requested data that fits in a User Datagram Protocol packet and an indication of an amount of additional data that is available; and
c) transmitting, using the User Datagram Protocol, a number of requests for the additional data which the received response indicated is available, the number of requests based on the amount of additional data that is available;
wherein the response further comprises a pseudo-Internet Protocol address;
wherein the pseudo-Internet Protocol address comprises the indication of the amount of the additional data that is available.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the transmitted request for data includes a domain.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the transmitted request for data comprises a lookup request for a domain sent to a Domain Name Server Blacklist/Realtime Blackhole List.
17. The method of claim 14 , wherein each of the number of requests for the additional data comprises a pseudo-domain indicating the amount of the additional data that is available.
18. A method, comprising:
transmitting a request for data;
receiving a response to the request for data comprising a portion of the requested data and an indication that additional data is available; and
transmitting a request for the additional data which the received response indicated is available;
wherein the request for the additional data includes a pseudo-domain indicating that the additional data is being requested, and the pseudo-domain is generated by appending a number, in sequence, to the domain included in the transmitted request for data.
19. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium for storing computer code for performing steps comprising:
transmitting a request for data;
receiving a response to the request for data comprising a portion of the requested data and an indication that additional data is available; and
transmitting a request for the additional data which the received response indicated is available;
wherein the request for the additional data includes a pseudo-domain indicating that the additional data is being requested, and the computer code is operable such that the pseudo-domain is generated by appending a number, in sequence, to the domain included in the transmitted request for data.
20. A system, comprising:
a processor for:
transmitting a request for data;
receiving a response to the request for data comprising a portion of the requested data and an indication that additional data is available; and
transmitting a request for the additional data which the received response indicated is available;
wherein the request for the additional data includes a pseudo-domain indicating that the additional data is being requested, and the system is operable such that the pseudo-domain is generated by appending a number, in sequence, to the domain included in the transmitted request for data.
