    Patent number: 10069762
    Abstract: Group based multicasts may be provided. First, a request may be received. The request may comprise a receiver tag, a request source identifier, and a request multicast group identifier. Next, a source tag corresponding to the request source identifier may be obtained and then it may be determined that a group corresponding to the receiver tag is allowed to access content from a source corresponding to the obtained source tag. In response to determining that the group corresponding to the receiver tag is allowed to access content from the source corresponding to the obtained source tag, content may be received from the source at a multicast group corresponding to the request multicast group identifier. The content may then be forwarded to a receiver corresponding to the request.

  • Multiple test site bandwidth limit measurement
    Patent number: 9331925
    Abstract: In one embodiment, methods are described to measure bandwidth limits through multiple test sites. A testing quantity of network packets is generated, the network packets are sent through a service provider network to a plurality of receivers at a testing transmission rate that exceeds an upstream transmission rate limit of the service provider network, a report indicating a received number of packets is received from each of the plurality of receivers, and an upstream transmission rate limit of the service provider network is determined based on the testing transmission and the reports. By using multiple test sites, potential bottlenecks at any one test site are reduced. A similar method can be used to calculate a downstream transmission rate limit. Once measured, the bandwidth limits may be used to adjust quality of service on an edge router or compared against a known service level agreement of the service provider network.

  • Selective monitor control
    Patent number: 9418621
    Abstract: Reducing energy usage by a monitor includes a map manager between a monitor interface and a processor that divides a display area of a monitor into areas and stores display information in a staging area. The map manager distinguishes an active window selected by a user from the remainder inactive, unselected areas of a display, and further determines a used subset of areas within the active window distinguished from the remainder unused areas as a function of a user preference. Accordingly, the map manager drives the monitor at each of the used area active window areas with the processor display information stored in the staging area at a normal luminance specified by the processor display information, and at each of the remainder unused, inactive and unselected areas of the total display area at a reduced luminance lower than the specified normal luminance.
