Abstract

Disclosed are systems and methods for providing message compression instructions by communicating with a plurality of sender machines and a plurality of receiver machines and monitoring one or more messages from the plurality of sender machines. The disclosed systems and methods may also identify a part of the one or more messages that is frequently included in a plurality of the messages sent by the plurality of sender machines, dynamically determine compression instructions to compress this part of the message, and provide the compression instructions to at least one of the plurality of sender machines, such that the compression instructions reduce size of the messages having the part of the message associated with the compression instructions.

Claims (30)

1. A facilitator server configured to:

monitor traffic or content transmitted over a network to identify at least one of information frequently transmitted over the network, information associated with a certain format, or information in a high traffic area of the network;

adjust instructions based on the monitored traffic or content to at least one of compress message data, replace the message data with the compressed message data, or decompress the compressed message data; and

transmit the adjusted instructions to at least one of a plurality of sender machines or to at least one of a plurality of receiver machines,

wherein the at least one of the plurality of sender machines compresses, based on the adjusted instructions, the message data or replaces, based on the adjusted instructions, the message data with the compressed message data, or wherein the at least one of the plurality of receiver machines, decompresses, based on the adjusted instructions, the compressed message data, and

wherein the compressed message data or the adjusted instructions comprises a compression identifier.

2. The facilitator server of claim 1 , wherein the facilitator server is further configured to transmit the compression identifier to the at least one of the plurality of sender machines or the at least one of the plurality of receiver machines.

3. The facilitator server of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of sender machines compresses second message data by replacing the second message data with the compressed second message data.

4. The facilitator server of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of sender machines stores the adjusted instructions for future message compression or future message replacement without communicating with the facilitator server.

5. The facilitator server of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of receiver machines stores the adjusted instructions for future message decompression without communicating with the facilitator server.

6. The facilitator server of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of sender machines or the at least one of the plurality of receiver machines requests the adjusted instructions.

7. The facilitator server of claim 1 , wherein the adjusted instructions are cached upon receipt of the adjusted instructions by the at least one of the plurality of sender machines or the at least one of the plurality of receiver machines.

8. A method for adjusting instructions, the method comprising:

monitoring, using one or more computing device processors, traffic or content transmitted over a network to identify at least one of information frequently transmitted over the network, information associated with a certain format, or information in a high traffic area of the network;

adjusting, using the one or more computing device processors, instructions based on the monitored traffic or content to at least one of compress message data, replace the message data with the compressed message data, or decompress the compressed message data; and

transmitting, using the one or more computing device processors, the adjusted instructions to at least one of a plurality of sender machines or to at least one of a plurality of receiver machines,

wherein the at least one of the plurality of sender machines compresses, based on the adjusted instructions, the message data or replaces, based on the adjusted instructions, the message data with the compressed message data, or wherein the at least one of the plurality of receiver machines, decompresses, based on the adjusted instructions, the compressed message data, and

wherein the compressed message data or the adjusted instructions comprises a compression identifier.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising transmitting, using the one or more computing device processors, the compression identifier to the at least one of the plurality of sender machines or the at least one of the plurality of receiver machines.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of sender machines compresses, based on the adjusted instructions, second message data by replacing the second message data with the compressed second message data.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the instructions comprise at least one of compression instructions or decompression instructions.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one of the information frequently transmitted over the network, the information associated with the certain format, or the information in the high traffic area of the network comprises the information frequently transmitted over the network.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one of the information frequently transmitted over the network, the information associated with the certain format, or the information in the high traffic area of the network comprises the information associated with the certain format.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one of the information frequently transmitted over the network, the information associated with the certain format, or the information in the high traffic area of the network comprises the information in the high traffic area of the network.

15. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of sender machines stores the adjusted instructions for future message compression or message replacement without communicating with a facilitator server.

16. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more computing device processors are comprised in a facilitator server.

17. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more computing device processors are comprised in at least one of the at least one of the plurality of sender machines or the at least one of the plurality of receiver machines.

18. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of receiver machines stores the adjusted instructions for future message decompression without communicating with a facilitator server.

19. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of sender machines or the at least one of the plurality of receiver machines requests the adjusted instructions.

20. The method of claim 8 , wherein the adjusted instructions are cached upon receipt of the adjusted instructions by the at least one of the plurality of sender machines or the at least one of the plurality of receiver machines.
