A node in home network serves as a coordinator to coordinate the use of bandwidth by clients that voluntarily cooperate with one another to share bandwidth on different network connections. Specifically, the coordinator maintains information for these network connections that logically represents the different connections as independent pools of usable bandwidth. This bandwidth information also indicates the amount of bandwidth available for use from each pool. The coordinator receives advertisements from clients advertising tentative use of a specified amount of bandwidth drawn from each of one or more pools. Responsive to these advertisements, the coordinator notifies clients regarding whether or not, according to the bandwidth information, the one or more pools from which their respective advertised uses would draw from each have the specified amount of bandwidth available. Finally, the coordinator independently updates each pool to indicate that any bandwidth notified as being available from that pool is now unavailable.

An attention challenge is provided to a user to ensure that while a mobile device is in motion, the user is not operating a vehicle. Failure at the attention challenge results in a restricted set of features so that the user is not able to interact with the mobile device in a manner that would impair driving.

A server for handling long poll requests receives requests containing both a client identifier and an indication of a last long poll execution time. These parameters allow the server to determine if resources dedicated to previous long polls from the client have been released. If there may still be resourced dedicated, they are released so that the new poll can be established and no redundant long polls are maintained.

Embodiments herein include a method performed by an intermediate proxy node via which client devices request data resources from a data resource server. The data resources are organized into different data resource collections. The method includes receiving a request for a subset of a data resource collection and, responsive to receiving such a request, determining that the collection is not stored in a request-agnostic cache maintained by the proxy node. Responsive to this determination, the method further entails retrieving the collection from the data resource server. The method then includes extracting the requested subset from the retrieved data resource collection and selectively returning that subset as a response to the request. Finally, the method entails storing the data resource collection in the request-agnostic cache for serving other requests for data resources in the data resource collection, including a request for a different subset of the data resource collection.
