A technique for determining a data window size allows a set of predicted blocks to be transmitted along with requested blocks. A stream enabled application executing in a virtual execution environment may use the blocks when needed.
摘要:
A technique for generating component usage statistics involves associating components with blocks of a stream-enabled application. When the streaming application is executed, block requests may be logged by Block ID in a log. The frequency of component use may be estimated by analyzing the block request log with the block associations.

A technique for modifying virtual files involves tracking changes locally. A method according to the technique may include virtually representing a file on, for example, a streaming client, and writing modifications to the virtual file into a diff-file on the streaming client. A system according the technique may include a virtual file associated with a remotely stored file, a diff-file, stored locally, associated with the remotely stored file, and a diff-file integration engine. The diff-file may include local changes to the virtual file. The diff-file integration engine may be capable of combining the virtual file with the diff-file to create a locally modified virtual file.

A technique for streaming from a media device involves enabling a local device to function as a streaming server. An example of a method according to the technique includes inserting a removable storage device that includes programs associated with a streaming application, running one or more of the programs, ensuring that a streaming software player is installed, and executing a streaming-related activity associated with the streaming application. An example of a system according to the technique includes a means for providing a streaming application that expects content to be found on a media drive, a means for intercepting requests for content expected to be found on the media drive, and a means for honoring the requests with content from a different media location.

A technique for controlling access to files or directories in a system that includes and overlay involves the use of explicit overlay integration rules. An example of a method according to the technique may include providing an overlay to a file system structure; providing an explicit overlay integration rule; and directing a file access for a file that resides in the file system structure and in the overlay to either the file system structure or the overlay depending upon the explicit overlay integration rule. The overlay may or may not be associated with a streaming software program. The proposed system can offer, among other advantages more control over access to files and directories in the file system/overlay.
