The processing device adds at least a portion of the selected media item to the collaboration session for presentation to at least one of the source device or the target device.

Abstract: An indicator for a device may provide an indication that a threshold associated with a budget for a network resource has or will be reached. When a user requests a network operation that will consume the network resource, an amount of the network resource to be consumed by the operation is predicted, if possible. If the prior use of the network resource and the amount to be used to complete the network operation exceeds a threshold the user may be warned and given an opportunity to cancel the operation or adjust the way in which the operation will be performed. If the amount of network resource a network operation will consume is unknown, a rate of use of the network resource is determined and a time until the budget is reached is estimated.

Abstract: Stateful network connections between a first virtual machine and at least a second virtual machine are preserved during a suspend and resume cycle. The virtual machines are interconnected by a network. A control instance is provided to manage a routing of network traffic of the virtual machines to the network. In case of a suspend operation, the control instance tracks network addresses of each virtual machine, whereas in case of a resume operation, the control instance sets up a router for each virtual machine and requests new network addresses for each router. The control instance configures a network address translation on the router assigned to each virtual machine to map the new network addresses to the network addresses used before suspending the virtual machines.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network identifies an upcoming network formation event. The device instructs one or more nodes in the network to use a network formation broadcast schedule during the event. The device determines that a degree of functionality in the network during the event exceeds a threshold amount. The device instructs the one or more nodes to use a normal broadcast schedule, in response to determining that the degree of functionality in the network during the event exceeds the threshold amount. Channels of the network formation broadcast schedule are active more frequently than channels of the normal broadcast schedule when in use.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing communications for collaborative applications. Middleware uses, network, application, and middleware resource information together with user information to facilitate communications between the application resources and the users via a hierarchical control structure that implements a communication overlay tree. That overlay tree is implemented in view of network constraints, and on the users and on their communication constraints. The middleware provides user index identifiers that inform the application that specific users have communication interests in specific parts of the application space. To send data to users that are interested in a specific part of the application space the application sends that data with a list of user index identifiers. The middleware then associates the user index identifiers with individual users and routes sent data to the individual users along the overlay tree.
