Abstract: Innovations in adaptive encoding of screen content based on motion type are described. For example, a video encoder system receives a current picture of a video sequence. The video encoder system determines a current motion type for the video sequence and, based at least in part on the current motion type, sets one or more encoding parameters. Then, the video encoder system encodes the current picture according to the encoding parameter(s). The innovations can be used in real-time encoding scenarios when encoding screen content for a screen sharing application, desktop conferencing application, or other application. In some cases, the innovations allow a video encoder system to adapt compression to different characteristics of screen content at different times within the same video sequence.

Abstract: Server selection for improving latency with an instance of a service is disclosed. Generally, lower core latency is preferrable. Core latencies can be related to a physical distance between endpoints connected via a communication pathway, such as a first server and second server connected via network equipment. A geographic distance between endpoints can be different from a topological distance of a communication pathway between endpoints. Endpoints, e.g., servers, can be ranked based on topological distance. The ranking can be communicated to service provider equipment to enable selection of a server based on a corresponding ranking of the server. Selection of an endpoint based on topological distance can enable improved latency in comparison to selecting an endpoint based on geographical distance. Improved latency can result in an improved quality of experience for a user of a service supported by an endpoint selected based on topological distance.
