Abstract: Techniques for secure federation of data communications networks are provided. The techniques employ an edge proxy server to route messages depending on a federation mode. In Direct federation mode, an edge proxy server of a network is configured to exchange messages with a specified set of entities, such as other networks, servers, other devices, or users. In Automatic federation mode, an edge proxy server may accept all incoming messages from entities that have a valid certificate. In Clearinghouse federation mode, the edge proxy server forwards all outgoing messages to a specified, trusted clearinghouse server.

Abstract: Architecture for a scalable, pluggable multi-party, and distributed multi media conferencing. A centralized policy and control conferencing component allows the seamless plug-in of different distributed media components (e.g., data, audio/video, messaging) to accommodate client participation in a conf erence session. The centralized conference control component includes the fo llowing: a conference notification service for accepting subscriptions to th e conference state and notifying subscribers about changes to that state; a conference policy and roster control service for storing and manipulating co nference policy and rosters; a security service for user authorization/authe ntication based on user identity information; a scheduling service for confe rence scheduling; an allocation service for allocating the most available me dia component(s) for a conference session; and, an MCU management service fo r conference policy and roster management of the distributed media component s.

Abstract: A method and mechanism for rapidly freeing storage space allocated to any logical portion of a file. An application program (30) provides the file system (28) with information indicating a block of logical data to free. The file system (28) converts the information to the physical allocation units such as the clusters corresponding to the logical block of data, and manipulates the file's meta data to indicate that the physical space is no longer allocated to the file. The file system (28) then adds the space to disk free space. Applications (30) such as merge applications and those managing FIFO queues may use the method and mechanism to shrink a file from the start of the file toward the end thereof without copying the logical data or adjusting internal pointers relative to the logical file data (42n).
