  • Framework to support a hybrid of meshed endpoints with non-meshed endpoints
    Patent number: 10356365
    Abstract: A videoconferencing system includes a hybrid MCU configured to act as a hybrid mesh participant in a videoconference. The hybrid MCU may include a processing module to mix videoconference media data received by the hybrid MCU in data streams transmitted from mesh and non-mesh endpoints. The hybrid MCU may further include a forking module to fork combined video/audio data streams received by the hybrid MCU to provide separate video and audio data streams to each mesh endpoint. The hybrid MCU may be configured to provide a mixed video/audio data steam to each non-mesh endpoint of the videoconference.

  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING ORDERED SETS OF ARBITRARY PERCENTILE ESTIMATES FOR VARYING TIMESPANS
    Publication number: 20180081629
    Abstract: A method includes interpreting a number of distributed data sets including resource utilization values corresponding to a plurality of distributed hardware resources, creating an approximation of a number of distributions corresponding to the distributed data set, aggregating the created approximations, and the aggregating includes weighting values determined from each of the distributed data sets, such that the aggregated approximations are representative of the distributed data sets. The method further includes creating a number of polynomial terms in response to the created approximations, thereby providing a utilization profile, and solving for a utilization percentile value within the aggregated approximations, where the solving is performed without reference to the distributed data set.
