Abstract: In one embodiment, a process on a computer receives a callback in response to an intercepted outbound web service connection called by an application executing on the computer. The process extracts information from the callback, e.g., at least a URL for the outbound web service connection and a code location within the application from which the outbound web service connection was called. Additionally due to the callback, the process obtains access to a core TCP socket for the outbound web service connection. The process determines how to modify socket options of the core TCP socket based on selected criteria according to the extracted information from the callback, and may then modify the socket options of the core TCP socket according to the determining. The modified socket options thus cause downstream network devices to handle traffic on the outbound web service connection based on the modified socket options.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media relate to a method for providing multi-point video presentations with live annotations within a communication platform. First, the system receives video feeds depicting imagery of a number of users. The system then determines a boundary about each user in the video feeds, with the boundaries each having an interior portion and an exterior portion. The system provides a media background for the exterior portions, then generates a composite video for each of the feeds. The system then determines that one or more client devices have annotation permissions, and receives one or more annotation inputs corresponding to at least one of the composite videos. Finally, the system updates at least one of the composite videos to additionally depict the annotation inputs within a third layer.

Abstract: The disclosure describes systems and methods for minimizing latency for users accessing services hosted on a cloud-computing system. A service of the cloud-computing system periodically queries edge sites of the cloud-computing system for information regarding containers stored on the edge sites. In response to the queries, the edge sites provide information identifying containers hosted on the edge sites, prefixes that the containers service, and connection locations where traffic from the prefixes enter the cloud-computing system. The service may determine whether the connection locations have changed. If a connection location for a prefix has changed, the service modifies a location of a container servicing the prefix. The service may migrate the container to a current connection location for the prefix. Modifying the location may reduce latency experienced by users behind the prefix.
