Abstract: In an embodiment, frames are received in an arrival order. Each of the frames has a target client and a sequence number that represents a relative position of the frame in the arrival order. A transmission order is determined based on bit reversals of the sequence numbers. Then frames are then sent to the respective target client in the transmission order. A frame is sent to the target client from its slot during a respective time period that is associated with the slot. If the slot is empty, no data is sent during the respective time period. In this way, the transmission of frames is spread over the available time.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a request is received from a client that includes a content identifier that identifies content. Content servers are determined that store the content, which is divided into frames. Time reference points and a time period are determined. The time period separates each of the time reference points. Logical groups of the frames are sent from the content servers to the client at the time reference points. The client receives the frames, reorders the frames into a play order, and displays the frames in the play order.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a content server has multiple queues, each of which includes records. Each record in a queue represents a frame in a logical group of frames. Each of the queues transitions between a control state, an ingestion state, and a distribution state. During the control states, records are added to the queues. During the ingestion states, the frames are copied into memory at the content server. During the distribution states, the content server sends the logical groups to a client. Each of the control state, the ingestion state, and the distribution state has a time duration equal to the amount of time needed to play the logical group.

Abstract: Method, article of manufacture and apparatus for controlling the operation and appearance of browsers. A controlled browser window comprises a display area for rendering viewable content received from received from network locations. A controlling browser window is configured to control aspects of the controlled browser window. In one embodiment, a program implementing the controlling browser window comprises event handlers which produce a predetermined result in response to events occurring with respect to the controlled browser window. The event handlers may be re-established for each domain change of the controlled browser window.
