Abstract: A second screen device can discover one or more first screen devices connected to a network using a DIAL discovery request. In response to the DIAL request, a preferred first screen device sends a formatted response that includes one or more capabilities associated with an application or software that is executed by or hosted by the first screen device. For example, the formatting can use a header extension for a response to a DIAL discovery request. In another example, the formatting can use a header tag for a response to a DIAL device description request. Formatting the response to the DIAL request to include information about the capabilities of the first screen device ensures that the first screen device that is preferred for the playback of selected content is positioned at the top of the list or menu presented to a user at the second screen device.

Abstract: A distributed data storage system that includes endpoint nodes, gateway nodes, and one or more gateway name servers. A gateway name server receives from clients resolution requests to resolve to a gateway node and resolves the resolution requests to a gateway node address of a gateway node. A gateway node receives client requests to access an endpoint node and redirects the requests to endpoint nodes identified by a gateway node whose address was resolved to by a gateway name server. An endpoint node receives from a client a retrieval request to retrieve data based on being redirected to the endpoint node. When a retrieval request is received and the endpoint node stores the data, the endpoint node sends the data to the client. When a retrieval request is received and the endpoint node does not store the data, the endpoint node forwards the retrieval request to another endpoint node.
