Efficient communication in a network

An apparatus for communication in a network, the apparatus comprising:

• memory configured to store full state information of an application and one or more state changes of the application;
• a monitoring module configured to monitor one or more performance parameters;
• an analyzer module configured to process the full state information and the state changes of the application based on the one or more performance parameters, and wherein the state changes are processed while a network connection is active;
• and
• a transmission module configured to:
• establish the connection in the network;
• transmit the processed full state information;
• and
• transmit sequentially the processed state changes.

A system for efficient communication in a network, the system comprising:

• means for establishing a connection between a first device and a second device in the network;
• means for monitoring the first device for one or more performance parameters;
• means for processing a full state information of the application at the first device, wherein the full state information is processed based on the performance parameters;
• means for transmitting the processed full state information of the application by the first device to the second device;
• means for processing one or more state changes of the application at the first device, wherein the state changes are processed based on the one or more performance parameters, and wherein the state changes are processed while the connection is active;
• and
• means for transmitting sequentially one or more processed state changes of the application by the first device to the second device.

A computer-readable medium containing instructions that, if executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to implement a method comprising:

• establishing a connection between a first device, including the computing device, and a second device in the network;
• monitoring the first device for one or more performance parameters;
• processing full state information of an application at the first device, wherein the full state information is processed based on the performance parameters;
• transmitting the processed full state information of the application by the first device to the second device;
• processing one or more state changes of the application at the first device, wherein the state changes are processed based on the one or more performance parameters, and wherein the state changes are processed while the connection is active;
• and
• transmitting sequentially one or more processed state changes of the application by the first device to the second device.

A communication method comprising:

• receiving, by a first device of a network, information from a second device of the network;
• processing the information to obtain full state information corresponding to an application;
• receiving, by the first device, at least one subsequent information transmission from the second device;
• and
• processing the at least one subsequent information transmission to obtain state change information relating to the application.
