    摘要: A collaborative services platform may include a connectivity service, an activity service and a contact management service. The connectivity service may provide communicative connectivity between users of the collaborative services platform. The activity service may provide one or more collaborative activities supporting various modes of communication. The contact management service may maintain contact information for each of the users of the collaborative service platform. It may be that not every user is capable of participating in every collaborative activity. The contact information maintained by the contact management service may indicate the collaborative activities in which each user is capable of participating. A set of programmatic objects utilized to implement the collaborative services platform may include contact objects, conference objects, MeContact objects, endpoint objects, published objects and presence objects. The presence object may represent a presence of a particular user in a networked computing environment and may reference multiple collaborative endpoints.

    摘要: Architecture for exposing a virtual private network of peer devices into the public domain via an overlay network. Computing devices, peripheral devices, as well as mobile devices can be physically distributed, but appear to belong to the same virtual private (or home) network, and be accessible from anywhere. Benefits include access to user media/documents from anywhere, searching of all connected devices from one location, multicast and broadcast connectivity, management of the private network and the associated policies, and device discovery on the private network from across public networks. P2P networks and ad-hoc networks can be exposed as a virtual interface, as well as the utilization of client operating systems to create the virtual network, grouping, graphing, the integration with relay services and other NAT/firewall traversal schemes, and the creation of a P2P overlay manager on a physical NIC (network interface card) address rather than a virtual address.

    摘要: An application and its associated user interface provide a meeting window for use in organizing and holding meetings using peer-to-peer network facilities. The meeting window offers menu selections for choosing a network over which to hold the meeting and for discovering and inviting meeting participants. The meeting window includes three main panes, one each for managing attendees, for distributing files to attendees, and for streaming presentation materials real-time to attendees. Data streaming is also supported to network devices such as projectors. Control of the presentation may be delegated by the presentation owner to another attendee, and may also be revoked by the presentation owner. The real-time streaming of the presentation may be paused and resumed to accommodate meeting dynamics or real-time changes.

    摘要: Systems and methods storage of adding a node entry to a routing table of an inquiring node of a data network are disclosed herein. An inquire message is transmitted to a publishing node. The publishing node can be configured to publish a routing entry which can be added by nodes of a network. An acknowledgment response can be received from the publishing node. The roundtrip time elapsed between transmitting the inquire message and receiving the response can be measured by the inquiring node. For all node registration entries in the routing table of the inquiring node a determination of whether the inquiring node is closest in locality to the publishing node than to a node corresponding to each node registration entry can be performed. Such determination can be made based on (a) the roundtrip time between nodes (b) node IP address prefix matching.

    摘要: A firewall functions normally to pass data on open ports to a respective service or endpoint associated with an open port. Invitations may sent to from an internal endpoint to an external peer-to-peer network endpoint inviting a connection back to the internal endpoint. Rather than leave ports open in a firewall for such connections, an invitation manager analyzes the invitation and in real time programs an exception in the firewall based on the invitation. The exceptions may be programmed for a limited duration, based on the nature of the internal endpoint. When an authenticated connection is required, a public key or handle to a public key for the external endpoint may be passed to the firewall for use in establishing the connection.

    摘要翻译: 防火墙通常可以将打开端口上的数据传递到与开放端口相关联的相应服务或端点。 邀请可以从内部端点发送到外部对等网络端点,邀请连接回内部端点。 邀请管理员不是在防火墙中为这种连接打开端口,而是根据邀请分析邀请并实时地在防火墙中编程异常。 基于内部端点的性质,可以将有限的持续时间编程为例外。 当需要经过身份验证的连接时,可以将外部端点的公钥或公钥的句柄传递到防火墙,以用于建立连接。

    摘要: A system may publish authenticated contact information in a publicly available index store, retrieve the contact information, and validate it. The claimed method and system may provide a client-based, server optional approach to publishing. The publicly available index store may be a distributed hash table used in a peer-to-peer network. The system may be used in other secure directory service applications where a server may not be available or where server trust may be minimal.
