  • Patent number: 11934851
    Abstract: Calls run through a virtual desktop infrastructure server are enhanced by testing communication network conditions and selecting, based on the test results, a media channel from a set of supported media channels, including a media channel that is routed through the virtual desktop infrastructure server and encapsulated in a protocol for exchanging data for virtual desktop applications and a more direct media channel that uses a network socket pair between a media server and a personal computing device and bypasses the virtual desktop infrastructure server. In some implementations, call data of multiple types and/or from multiple sources are merged into a single virtual channel of the protocol for exchanging data for virtual desktop applications.

  • Patent number: 11888956
    Abstract: In examples, a requestor device requests data from a data platform. A response from the data platform may include a version identifier indicating a version of data used to process the request and a device identifier indicating the server device that processed the request. Accordingly, the requestor device may include the version identifier and device identifier in a subsequent request, such that the request is routed to the server device accordingly. In examples, the server device may evaluate the version identifier to determine whether the request is associated with a different version of the data, as may occur when the data of the server device has since been updated. Similarly, the requestor device may evaluate a version identifier from the data platform as compared to that of a previously received response to determine whether the response is associated with a different version of data than that of a previous response.

  • Patent number: 11831501
    Abstract: Techniques are described for generating a virtualized network function (VNF) descriptor (VNFD) indicative of resources for managing VNF components (VNFCs) across a plurality of virtualized infrastructure managers (VIMs) implemented in a virtualized computing environment configured in a user-specific configuration. A VNFD generator receives a solution description file (SDF) encoding user input pertaining to the user-specific configuration, and a VNFC descriptor encoding VNFC specific information. The SDF and VNFC descriptor are validated and translated to generate an abstracted VNFD that is independent of renderers implemented at the virtualized computing environment. The abstracted VNFD is translated to a VNFD that is specific to the renderers and VIM and VNFD-specific information at the virtualized computing environment.
