Abstract

In an example implementation of the disclosed technology, a method includes predicting, by a computing device, a destination server that is predicted to be the destination of a message from a sending device connected to the computing device. The method also includes determining whether a connection exists between the computing device and the destination server. The method also includes, responsive to determining that no connection exists, determining a connection and caching the connection at the computing device. The method also includes, responsive to receiving a message for dispatch to the destination server, dispatching the message to the destination server via the connection.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

predicting, at a computing device, a destination server to which the computing device can dispatch mobile messages;

determining, by the computing device, whether a connection between the computing device and the destination server is cached at the computing device;

responsive to determining no connection between the computing device and the destination server is cached at the computing device, determine a connection between the computing device and the destination server;

caching, at a connection cache of the computing device, the connection between the computing device and the destination server; and

responsive to receiving, at the computing device, a message for dispatch to the destination server, dispatching the message via the cached connection.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the destination server is a first destination server, further comprising:

responsive to determining the connection between the computing device and the first destination server, deleting, from the connection cache, a connection between the computing device and a second destination server.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein determining a connection between the computing device and the destination server further comprises establishing a connection between the computing device and the destination server.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein determining a connection between the computing device and the destination server further comprises dispatching a dummy message from the computing device to the destination server.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

caching, at the connection cache of the computing device, a plurality of connections between the computing device and a plurality of destination servers; and

deleting, at a predetermined interval, at least one of the plurality of connections between the computing device and the plurality of destination servers.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the computing device is configured to monitor an address assignment of the destination server and, upon determination of a change in the address assignment, create a new connection between the computing device and the destination server.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a computing device to:

predict a destination server to which the computing device can dispatch mobile messages;

determine whether a connection between the computing device and the destination server is cached at the computing device;

responsive to determining no connection between the computing device and the destination server is cached at the computing device, determine a connection between the computing device and the destination server;

cache, at a connection cache of the computing device, the connection between the computing device and the destination server; and

responsive to receiving, at the computing device, a message for dispatch to the dispatch server, dispatch the message via the cached connection.

8. The computer-readable medium of claim 7, wherein the destination server is a first destination server, and further storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, further cause the computing device to:

responsive to determining a connection between the computing device and the first destination server, delete, from the connection cache, a connection between the computing device and a second destination server.

9. The computer-readable medium of claim 7, wherein determining a connection between the computing device and the destination server further comprises establishing a connection between the computing device and the destination server.

10. The computer-readable medium of claim 7, wherein determining a connection between the computing device and the destination server further comprises dispatching a dummy message from the computing device to the destination server.

11. The computer-readable medium of claim 7 further storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, further cause the first computing device to:

cache, at the connection cache of the computing device, a plurality of connections between the computing device and a plurality of destination servers; and

delete, at a predetermined interval, at least one of the plurality of connections between the computing device and the plurality of destination servers.

12. The computer-readable medium of claim 7, wherein the computing device is configured to monitor an address assignment of the destination server and, upon determination of a change in the address assignment, create a new connection between the computing device and the destination server.

13. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to;

predict a destination server to which the system can dispatch mobile messages;

determine whether a connection between the system and the destination server is cached at the system;

responsive to determining no connection between the system and the destination server is cached at the system, determine a connection between the system and the destination server;

cache, at a connection cache of the system, the connection between the system and the destination server; and

responsive to receiving, at the system, a message for dispatch to the destination server, dispatch the message via the cached connection.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the destination server is a first destination server, and further storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, further cause the system to:

responsive to determining a connection between the system and the first destination server, delete, from the connection cache, a connection between the system and a second destination server.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein determining a connection between the system and the destination server further comprises establishing a connection between the system and the destination server.

16. The system of claim 13, wherein determining a connection between the system and the destination server further comprises dispatching a dummy message from the system to the destination server.

17. The system of claim 13 further storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, further cause the system to:

cache, at the connection cache of the system, a plurality of connections between the system and a plurality of destination servers; and

delete, at a predetermined interval, at least one of the plurality of connections between the system and the plurality of destination servers.

18. The system of claim 13, wherein the system is configured to monitor an address assignment of the destination server and, upon determination of a change in the address assignment, create a new connection between the system and the destination server.
