  • Patent number: 11910037
    Abstract: Embodiments include an overlay multicast network. The overlay multicast network may provide a set of features to ensure reliable and timely arrival of multicast data. The embodiments include a congestion control system that may prioritize designated layers of data within a data stream over other layers of the same data stream. Each data stream transmitted over the network may be given an equal share of the bandwidth. Addressing in routing tables maintained by routers may utilize summarized addressing based on the difference in location of the router and destination address. Summarization levels may be adjusted to minimize travel distances for packets in the network. Data from high priority data stream layers may also be retransmitted upon request from a destination machine to ensure reliable delivery of data.

  • Patent number: 9430229
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a data processing system comprises one or more processors; one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing sequences of instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the processor to perform: in a computer program source code version control system, obtaining input specifying a source branch of computer program source code, a destination branch of computer program source code, and an upstream repository of computer program source code relating to a prospective merge of the source branch into the destination branch in the upstream repository; performing, in a temporary data storage location, a merge of the source branch and destination branch with respect to a first parent branch of the source branch and destination branch; creating and causing displaying a diff of the source branch with respect to the first parent branch; in the diff, displaying one or more conflicts of the source branch and the destination branch that would occur if the merge is c
