Abstract: A controller configured to maintain a global virtual private cloud network (global VPC), which comprises a plurality of regions including a first region and a second region. The first region features at least a first workload and a first spoke subnetwork including a first set of spoke gateways. The second region features at least a second workload and a second spoke subnetwork including a second set of spoke gateways. These sets of spoke gateways are part of the cloud overlay network. Responsive to the first workload operating as a source for transmission of a first message to a first destination external to the global VPC, the logic is configured to (i) direct the first message from the first workload to a spoke gateway of the first set of spoke gateways residing withing the first region and (ii) preclude transmission of the first message to the second spoke subnetwork.

Abstract: A computerized method for avoiding cross-region communications when utilizing a cloud overlay network is described. The method involves an operation of deploying one or more spoke gateways within at least a first region and a second region of a first virtual private cloud network. Thereafter, a region and a virtual private cloud network associated with a source and a destination of a communication are determined. Upon determining that the destination of the communication resides within a second virtual private cloud network, which is different than the first virtual private cloud network, the routing of the communication between the source and the destination is controlled by one or more spoke gateways solely residing within the region in which the source.

Abstract: In video conference scenarios, participants may be interested in preserving particular video frames. The participants may wish to capture one or more individual frames for storage and later usage. Systems and methods are described herein for a presenter to tag individual pictures during a live video stream for remote user download.

Abstract: Methods and systems for secure conferencing in a network have been provided. Relevant endpoints from the provided endpoints are selected on the basis of the endpoint selection parameters received in an SRTP extension. Data streams generated from the selected endpoints are decrypted and mixed, to obtain all the possible data stream mixes. A source identifier is inserted in all the possible data stream mixes. On the basis of source identifiers, endpoints can selectively receive any of the generated data streams.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided which preferably increase reliability of data sensitive to packet loss. According to principles of the invention, a quality of service value may be dynamically assigned to network packets based on the contents of the network packets.

Abstract: A method and system for fax passthrough that can detect fax calls and which can distinguish between fax calls and modem calls. Both V.21 flags and the CM fax signals are detected to determine if a call is a fax call. If a call is from a G3 fax machine, the v.21 flags will be detected. On the other hand if the call is from a SG3 fax machine the CM fax signal will be detected. The method and system therefore detects fax calls and it distinguishes between fax and modem calls in a fax passthrough system.
