  • Patent number: 11595316
    Abstract: A source device executing the application can transmit the streaming content to the playback device. The size of the buffer can be changed during the playback of streaming content. To perform the change seamlessly, embodiments can cause the application to provide the streaming content at an increased or decreased rate, depending on how the size of the playback buffer is to be changed. The new buffer size (i.e., smaller or larger amount) can provide improved playback of the streaming content, e.g., based on a latency-reliability tradeoff as determined using various factors (e.g., quality of connection between the devices). The changed rate for providing the streaming content can be achieved by slowing down or speeding up a clock signal that is provided to the application.

  • Patent number: 11539624
    Abstract: Routes in an address group are generally resolved according to a next hop resolution profile that applies across the address group. Individual next hop resolution profiles can be defined and associated with specific routes within the address group. Those specific routes are resolved according to their respective associated next hop resolution profiles, thereby bypassing the next hop resolution profile of the address group to provide control over the resolution behavior at the granularity of individual routes within the address group.

  • Patent number: 11522785
    Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems and method for intelligent path selection to reduce latency and maintain security. A client can request access to a server and multiple connections can be initiated to the requested destination, for example, a direct connection from a branch office and a backhauled connection through a data center. Traffic via the second connection can be controllable by application of at least one rule of the data center. A device can determine a delay in the exchange of data via the connections and a security level of the connections. The determination of the delay in the exchange of data via the another connection can be based on in part feedback about the application of the rule. The device can connect a client device to a server through one of the connections using the determination of the delay and the security level of the connection.
