  • Technique for setting network communication parameters
    Patent number: 9602627
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing a bandwidth control interface that displays the relative amount of bandwidth assigned to each application executing at a computer device. By displaying the relative amount of bandwidth, the interface allows the user to easily determine how the available bandwidth is allocated among the applications, and whether the allocation provides for efficient network communication. The bandwidth control interface also allows the user to adjust the relative allocation of bandwidth to the executing applications. The user can thereby control the relative amount of bandwidth that is allocated to each application by a network interface device.

  • Network connected media gateway for communication networks
    Patent number: 9116893
    Abstract: A network traffic managing node of a local area network, such as a router or gateway, can implement a network discovery and remote access mechanism for the local area network. A catalog of a plurality of files stored in a plurality of network devices of the local area network is created at the network traffic managing node based, at least in part, on information associated with the plurality of files determined using a network discovery procedure. The catalog of the plurality of files is provide to a remote network node of a wide area network in response to receiving a message from the remote network node requesting access to the plurality of files. One or more files are provided to the remote network node in response to receiving a message from the remote network node requesting the one or more files from the catalog of the plurality of files.
