First Claim
Patent Images
1. An information processing system, comprising:
- a first computing device configured to receive an information packet through a wide area network and a first local area network; and
in response to at least the information packet and a state of the information processing system;
when the state of the information processing system is a first state;
output a migration packet containing information representing a connection endpoint, such that the output migration packet bypasses the first local area network;
receive an acknowledgement packet that indicates that the migration packet was received; and
output the information packet, such that the output information packet bypasses the first local area network; and
when the state of the information processing system is a second state, selectively execute a software application associated with the information packet.

Abstract
Through a first local area network, a first computing device of an information processing system receives an information packet from a global computer network. In response to at least the information packet and a state of the information processing system, the first computing device selectively outputs the information packet when the state of the information processing system is a first state, such that the output information packet bypasses the first local area network. When the state of the information processing system is a second state, the first computing device selectively executes a software application associated with the information packet.

18. A method performed by a first computing device of an information processing system, the method comprising:
-
receiving an information packet from a first local area network coupled to a wide area network; and in response to at least the information packet and a state of the information processing system, when the state of the information processing system is a first state; outputting a migration packet containing information representing a connection with a client, such that the output migration packet bypasses the first local area network; receiving an acknowledgement packet that indicates that the migration packet was received; and outputting the information packet, such that the output information packet bypasses the first local area network; and when the state of the information processing system is a second state, executing a software application associated with the information packet. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. A server farm, comprising:
a first computing device configured to receive an information packet through a wide area network and a first local area network; and
in response to at least the information packet and a state of the server farm,when the state is a first state; output a migration packet containing information representing a connection to a client, such that the output migration packet bypasses the first local area network; receive an acknowledgement packet that indicates that the migration packet was received; and output the information packet, such that the output information packet bypasses the first local area network; and when the state is a second state, execute a software application associated with the information packet. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)

42. A computer-readable memory medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a first computing device of an information processing system to respond to an information packet received through a first local area network and a wide area network by:
-
when the information processing system is in a first state, executing a software application associated with the information packet; and when the information processing system is in a second state; transmitting a packet containing a reference to a connection endpoint; receiving an acknowledgement packet that indicates that the packet containing the reference to the connection endpoint was received; and
forwarding the information packet such that the forwarded information packet bypasses the first local area network. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48)
