Pattern coalescing for remote wake-enabled applications

A system for managing wake-enabled applications, the system comprising:

• a processor and a memory configured for providing computer program instructions to the processor;
• an operating system configured to:
• reserve a reserved port set having a wake-enabled port set and a non-wake-enabled port set;
• assign a reserved port from the reserved port set;
• and
• assign a multiport wake pattern corresponding to the wake-enabled port set, wherein the multiport wake pattern is a wild card pattern constructed as a bit pattern for supporting wake functionality for multiple source ports in the wake-enabled port set;
• a multiport wake pattern component having a network interface controller, the multiport wake pattern component configured to:
• receive a packet;
• determine that the packet corresponds to a wake-enabled transport connection of a wake-enabled application, based on comparing the packet to the multiport wake pattern, wherein comparing the packet to the multiport wake pattern comprises:
• identifying a port in the packet;
• and
• matching the port in the packet to the multiport wake pattern using bit masking, wherein the multiport wake pattern is matchable to a plurality of ports in the wake-enabled port set, the plurality of ports are assigned to wake-enabled applications to support wake functionality;
• and
• facilitate waking at least a portion of the wake-enabled application associated with the wake-enabled transport connection;
• and
• the wake-enabled application configured to:
• receive a wake command to wake at least a portion of the wake-enabled application.

A computer-implemented method for managing wake-enabled transport connections of wake-enabled applications based on multiport wake patterns, the method comprising:

• receiving a packet;
• determining that the packet corresponds to a wake-enabled transport connection of a wake-enabled application, based on comparing the packet to a multiport wake pattern, wherein comparing the packet to the multiport wake pattern comprises:
• identifying a port in the packet;
• and
• matching the port in the packet to the multiport wake pattern using bit masking, wherein the multiport wake pattern is matchable to a plurality of ports in a wake-enabled port set, wherein the multiport wake pattern is a wild card pattern corresponding to the wake-enabled port set comprising the plurality of ports, wherein the multiport wake pattern is a bit pattern supporting wake functionality for multiple source ports in the wake-enabled port set, and the plurality of ports are assigned to wake-enabled applications to support wake functionality;
• and
• waking at least a portion of the wake-enabled application associated with the wake-enabled transport connection.
