Abstract: A mobile device pass through for signaling messages procedure allows smart devices to participate in and control multimedia communications by providing the ability to control multimedia communications to the smart device by the mobile device. A mobile device and a smart device establish a channel of communications between the mobile device and a web browser executing on the smart device, e.g. when both are connected to the same Wi-Fi access point. When the web browser accesses a web application that utilizes signaling messages to control multimedia content, the web browser will send signaling message requests to the mobile device. The mobile device, in turn, generates and forwards the signaling message. Media content is delivered directly to the smart device without passing through the mobile device or the established channel of communications.

Abstract: A client application may use a request/response protocol to request that a server perform a transaction. The client application may use an adapter to issue a request and to wait for a reply. The adapter may wait for the reply for a specific amount of time. If a reply is received after the time expires, then the reply may be received by a delayed reply handler employed by the client application. If the delayed reply handler receives a reply, it may identify the request to which the reply relates, and may then cause action to be taken. The particular action to be taken may depend on the nature of the transaction to be performed, and/or whether the transaction succeeded or failed.

Abstract: Files and/or file updates can be pre-fetched from a server to reduce file access periods as well as shift network usage from high traffic periods to low traffic periods. For example, a file that was previously expelled from a cache can be pre-fetched from the server prior to a future period in which a client is likely to re-access the file. As another example, a file update for a file that remains stored in the cache can be pre-fetched from the server prior to a future period in which a client is likely to re-access the file. The file update may then be used to update the stored file. The file and/or updated-file can then be provided directly from the cache to the client when the client re-accesses the file.

Routing between the communication client and the first and the second communication bridges uses a communication mechanism that does not include an own communication stack. One of the first or the second communication bridges is configured to act as a master communication bridge, and the other of the second or the first communication bridges is configured to act as a slave communication bridge.

Abstract: In one embodiment, by way of example only, a resource threshold limits the resource usage of each of the multiplicity of clients. The resource threshold of each of the multiplicity of clients increases over time and decreases when the resources deplete and a resource request of a client is rejected. A subset of clients is created from the multiplicity of clients having a resource usage greater than the resource usage of the rejected client. A dynamic average of a normalized number of resources is calculated from the subset of clients. The resource threshold of each client from the subset of clients is decreased based on the dynamic average of the subset of clients, and further acquisition of resources is restricted from each client from the subset of clients in order to bring the resource usage of each of the subset of clients under the resource threshold.

Abstract: Metrics are defined and collected for an application. The metrics are organized in hierarchical trees with metrics aggregated at each node in the trees. Each tree represents a different permutation of the metrics. A particular metric may occur in more than one tree. A user interface provides a default drill-down that allows users to jump from one metric to another so that only the most useful information is presented to the user. The default drill-down is defined to provide the user with a best practices method to identify and correct problems or errors in the application. Users may modify the default drill-down path.
