Abstract: The content provider provides content to the first data center, which then provides the content to the client. The client determines that a failure between content provider and the first data center may have occurred. When the client determines that a failure may have occurred, the client may connect to a second data center to receive content from the content provider through the second data center. Accordingly, the failure is detected and additionally, automatic failure recovery may be provided at the client.

Abstract: A dynamic content routing network routes update messages containing updates to properties of live objects from input sources to clients. The clients receive a web page having live objects, identify the object IDs associated with the objects, and contact an object state storage to obtain update messages specifying the objects' initial properties. The clients register the object IDs with the routing network. The routing network maintains a registry of object IDs and clients. The input source provides an update messages to the routing network containing the object ID and data for updating a property of the object. The routing network routes update messages from the input source to the clients registered for the object ID contained in the message. Upon receipt of the message, a client updates the specified property of the live object. The update messages are also provided to, and stored by, the object state storage.

Abstract: Techniques for dynamically updating a live object with personalized content for clients are provided. The techniques include receiving a first message from a source including a first identifier and a second identifier. The first identifier may be unique to a client. The second identifier may be generic across many clients. The first message includes information for updating a property of a live object associated with the second identifier. A client specific to the first identifier may be identified. A second message may then be routed through a network to the client. The second message may include the first identifier and the second identifier and also may contain information for updating a property of the live object associated with the second identifier. The client may receive the second message and may be capable of causing an update of the property of the live object associated with the second identifier.

Abstract: A dynamic content routing network routes update messages containing updates to properties of live objects from input sources to clients having the objects. Certain objects served to clients by a server are indicated as “live.” When the clients receive live objects, the clients identify the object IDs associated with the objects and register the object IDs with the routing network. The routing network maintains a registry of object IDs and clients. An input source provides an update message to the routing network containing the object ID and data specifying an update to a property of the object. The routing network routes the message to each client that has registered for the object ID contained in the message. Upon receipt of the message, a client updates the specified property of the live object.

Abstract: Each of a plurality of thread boundaries comprises functionality to be performed for a given event by a single thread. A plurality of queues through which events may be routed may be coupled to the thread boundaries. A plurality of tasks may be configured in a defined relationship, each task being associated with a thread boundary and comprising a unit of code for performing a specific function. Resources may be allocated to thread boundaries based on queue depth.
