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 produce 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 a pseudo-Internet Protocol address, wherein a first portion of the pseudo-Internet Protocol address is encoded with an indication that additional data is available and a second portion of the pseudo-Internet Protocol address is encoded with an indication of a number of additional requests needed to obtain the additional data; and
transmitting a request for the additional data.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitted request for data includes a domain.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitted request for data comprises a lookup request for a domain sent to a Domain Name Server Blacklist/Realtime Blackhole List.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request for the additional data comprises a pseudo-domain indicating that the additional data is being requested.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the pseudo-domain is generated by appending a number, in sequence, to a domain included in the transmitted request for data.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
repeating the receiving of the response and the transmitting of the request for the additional data until a response is received indicating that no additional data is available.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request for data is transmitted using User Datagram Protocol.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the response to the request for data is received using User Datagram Protocol.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the response includes a portion of the requested data that fits in a User Datagram Protocol packet.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request for the additional data is transmitted using User Datagram Protocol.
11. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium for storing instructions for performing operations comprising:
transmitting a request for data;
receiving a response to the request for data comprising a portion of the requested data and a pseudo-Internet Protocol address, wherein a first portion of the pseudo-Internet Protocol address is encoded with an indication that additional data is available and a second portion of the pseudo-Internet Protocol address is encoded with an indication of a number of additional requests needed to obtain the additional data; and
transmitting a request for the additional data.
12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the transmitted request for data includes a domain.
13. 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/Realtime Blackhole List.
14. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the request for the additional data comprises a pseudo-domain indicating that the additional data is being requested.
15. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the pseudo-domain is generated by appending a number, in sequence, to a domain included in the transmitted request for data.
16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , the operations further comprising:
repeating the receiving of the response and the transmitting of the request for the additional data until a response is received indicating that no additional data is available.
17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the request for data is transmitted using User Datagram Protocol.
18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the response to the request for data is received using User Datagram Protocol.
19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein the response includes a portion of the requested data that fits in a User Datagram Protocol packet.
20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the request for the additional data is transmitted using User Datagram Protocol.
21. 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 a pseudo-Internet Protocol address, wherein a first portion of the pseudo-Internet Protocol address is encoded with an indication that additional data is available and a second portion of the pseudo-Internet Protocol address is encoded with an indication of a number of additional requests needed to obtain the additional data; and
transmitting a request for the additional data.
