Abstract:
The techniques disclosed herein provide a system that can control the delivery of messages to users of a communication session. When one of the participants, who is deemed as a permitted user, sends a message to a presenter, the system renders at least a portion of the private message in a region associated with the sender. Other users who are restricted users, are not permitted to send a message to the presenter while the system is in presentation mode. Permitted users can be users having identities having a domain that is common to the presenter, e.g., an internal employee, while the restricted users may have identities having a domain that is different than the identity of the presenter.
Abstract:
Wireless communication devices may directly communicate within groups of wireless communication devices using Layer-2 communications to implement “push-to-talk” type applications. In one implementation, a method may include generating a floor request signaling message to take control of a communication channel for a group. After transmitting data relating to the communications, a floor release signaling message may be generated and transmitted a number of times.
Abstract:
An internet protocol (IP) traffic control method comprising receiving a message that comprises multicast group information and distribution tree root information from a tree root node in a first network area, determining the border network node is a designated forwarder for the second network area, sending an announcement message that comprises the multicast group information and the distribution tree root information within the second network area, receiving multicast group membership information for a multicast group computing a multicast group membership summary for the first network area and the second network area, sending the multicast group membership summary to first network area and the second network area, computing a distribution tree using the multicast group information and the distribution tree root information, pruning the distribution tree to generate a multicast tree, and communicating multicast data traffic between the first network area and the second network area along the multicast tree.
Abstract:
A data processing apparatus has multiple caches and a controller for controlling the caches. The controller and caches communicate over a first network and a second network. The first network is used for unicast communication from the controller to a specific one of the caches. The second network is used for communication of a multicast communication from the controller to two or more of the caches.
Abstract:
In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a core network node configured to associate with a native multicast group a first client device that is associated with a first virtual local area network (VLAN) and operatively coupled to the core network node via a first access network node and an aggregation network node. The core network node can associate with the native multicast group a second client device that is associated with a second VLAN and operatively coupled to the core network node via a second access network node and the aggregation network node. The core network node can define a multicast VLAN including the first VLAN and the second VLAN based on the native multicast group. The core network node can receive a multicast data unit associated with the native multicast group and can also define a single instance of the multicast data unit for the multicast VLAN.
Abstract:
A method and computer system are provided for distributing a plurality of data portions from a server system to one or more client systems. The method includes receiving one or more first requests at the server, each first request being submitted by a client system and including a portion identifier, wherein a portion identifier is assigned to each data portion; in response to receiving the first request(s), transmitting a list of chunk identifiers to the requesting client systems, wherein the list of chunk identifiers specifies the data chunks whose meta-data includes the portion identifier contained in the first request; and transmitting some or all data chunks of a data chunk library to each of the requesting client systems. At the requesting client system, the client specifically selects the data chunks of the transmitted data chunks which are specified by the received list of chunk identifiers.
Abstract:
A system, method and architecture for in-built media enabled personal collaboration on endpoints are disclosed. In one embodiment, one or more personal communication modified video communication terminals (PCMVCTs), one or more of video communication terminals (VCTs), one or more of voices over IP communication terminals (VoCTs), one or more remote servers and/or one or more clients are communicatively coupled via an IP network. Further, the PCMVCT includes a personal collaboration enabling audio/video bridging module (PCEAVBM). Furthermore, the personal collaboration between participants while providing an audio/video bridging of incoming audio/video streams from the one or more PCMVCTs, one or more of VCTs and VoCTs via the IP network is enabled by the PCEAVBM.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices described herein can allow a mesh device to participate in multiple mesh networks. The method comprises associating with a first access point over a first mesh network, wherein the first access point manages the first mesh network; responsive to receiving a neighbor information broadcast from a neighboring mesh device, updating a neighborhood table stored in an accessible memory, wherein the neighbor information includes a neighboring mesh device information and a neighboring mesh device network identifier; responsive to a request to transmit a message to a destination, determining a next device, wherein the next device is on a calculated path towards the destination, the path including mesh devices from a plurality of mesh networks; and transmitting the message to the next device.
Abstract:
Included is an Internet Protocol (IP) version four (IPv4) Residual Deployment via IP version six (IPv6) (4rd) customer edge (CE) comprising a transceiver configured to communicate with an IPv6 network, and a processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to receive multicast packets from a multicast source via the IPv6 network, and transmit the multicast packets to a host. The disclosure also includes a 4rd border relay (BR) comprising a transceiver configured to communicate with an IPv6 network, and a processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to receive multicast packets from a multicast source, and transmit the multicast packets to a host via the IPv6 network and a 4rd customer edge (CE).
Abstract:
A centralized communication system (CCS) is disclosed that provides a modular, extendible, and scalable communication system that can exchange information between any information systems or networked devices. Information from a single source device or system can be selectively broadcast to one or more predetermined destination devices and systems rather than broadcast to every device on the network. Information may be filtered and processed at one or more selectable points in the communication flow between systems. In certain embodiments, an incoming message is received from the source device in the native message format using the native protocol of the source device and converted to an internal messaging format for internal handling within the CCS, then converted to the native message format of a receiving system and sent to the receiving system using its native protocol. In certain embodiments, a graphical representation of the topology of the CCS may be provided.
