Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code to receive data from a source at a plurality of gateways for distribution using a selected priority. The data is transmitted from the plurality of gateways to a plurality of receivers using the selected priority. Every gateway in the plurality of gateways has an adaptive bandwidth control process and a respective set of parameters for controlling the adaptive bandwidth control process for sending the data at the selected priority. Transmission of the data from each gateway for the selected priority has a different impact on other traffic at different gateways in the plurality gateways for the selected-priority when different values are set for the set of parameters for the different gateways.

Abstract: In a computing network containing multiple computing devices, a network card in a computing device provides the ability for the computing device to transmit specific types of information while the computing device is in an inactive state. The network card contains processing capabilities that enable it to detect and receive an inquiry directed to that device, process the inquiry, retrieve the requested data which is stored in the network card and transmit that information to the requestor. The ability of the network card to perform this enables system administrators to perform certain system maintenance functions while a computer may be in a power off or hibernate state instead if having to power on the computing device.

Abstract: An approach to handling dynamic information selection based on associated is presented. A user configures a plurality of endnotes in order to assign one of the endnotes to a recipient address. Each endnote may include signature text (e.g., name, phone number, etc.), as well as images, web page links, and/or animation, which add to the aesthetics and personalization of a constructed email message. When a user creates an email message that includes one or more email recipient addresses, an endnote manager analyzes each email recipient address and automatically selects one of the configured endnotes based on the email recipient's assigned endnote category. In addition, a user may configure the endnote manager to select an endnote to include in an email messages based upon the time at which the email is created.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code to receive a user input defining settings at an application layer to form a set of received settings. An adaptive bandwidth control process is executed using the received settings to identify a transmission rate for transmitting data packets across a network. The data packets are transmitted across the network using the identified transmission rate.

Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, or computer program product is presented for processing electronic messages. An electronic message is received for a recipient from a sender, and a data field is detected in the received electronic message that indicates a request by the sender for a response from the recipient for the received electronic message. The recipient is alerted to the detected request for the response for the received electronic message, and after alerting the recipient, actions are required by the recipient with respect to usage of a data processing system until the recipient uses the data processing system to send a response for the received electronic message to the sender. For example, the recipient can be prevented from closing a review of the received e-mail message, from deleting the received e-mail message, and from exiting the e-mail application until the recipient has responded to the received email message.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code to monitor transmission of data to target. A determination is made as to whether the transmission of the data exceeds a threshold. The bandwidth used to transmit the data to the target is controlled using an adaptive bandwidth control process if the transmission of the data exceeds the threshold, wherein a minimum amount of bandwidth is guaranteed for the transmission of the data.

Abstract: This invention pertains to: a method for controlling the monitoring of broadcast messages of traffic information, and reporting to a user, traffic information that relates to a set of user-specified routes of travel; and also to a travel route information monitor that operates in accordance with the method. The method includes a first step of programming information into a controller (1). A first portion of the programmed information specifies a time. A second portion of the programmed information specifies a set of geographical routes of travel comprising a primary route and at least one alternative route. A next step includes initiating the receiving of broadcast messages of traffic information at a time that is a function of the time specified by the first portion of the programmed information. A next step includes screening received broadcast messages to collect traffic information that relates to any of the routes of travel specified by the second portion of the programmed information.
