Methods, systems, and storage media for rendering digital environments are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive a data stream at an area rendering server; render, by the area rendering server, a global digital environment based at least in part on the received data stream; generate a parallax rendering data stream based at least in part on the received data stream; receive the parallax rendering data stream at a composition server; combine, by the composition server, the received parallax rendering data stream into a new parallax rendering data stream; render, by one or more client platforms, a local digital environment based at least in part on the new parallax rendering data stream; and cause display of the local digital environment through an output of the one or more client platforms.

This disclosure generally relates to systems and methods that facilitate employing a server based content recording component for recording content remotely for a client content video recording device that has limited storage and limited number of content streams to which it can access concurrently, while satisfying content rules for broadcast and re-transmission.

A system and method of communication traffic management on a portable communication device having a computer processor and a network connection to a computer server for transmitting or receiving data with the processor over a network is provided. The method includes: identifying, by a traffic manager application running on the processor, a first application running on the processor and delivering first data to or from the server over the network; intercepting, by the traffic manager application, electronic traffic of the first data to or from the first application or to or from the server; and controlling, by the traffic manager application, a rate of delivery of the first data to or from the first application. The system includes the portable communication device and a nonvolatile storage device coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to execute the steps of the method.

A traffic scheduling method includes determining, by a first network device, first traffic scheduling information and a transmission path of a first data stream based on a first talker attribute message received from a talker device and a listener attribute message received from a listener device, and then sending, by the first network device, a first traffic scheduling message to a network device on the transmission path. The first traffic scheduling message includes the first traffic scheduling information. The first traffic scheduling information indicates the network device on the transmission path to generate a gate control list. The gate control list indicates the network device on the transmission path to control, based on the gate control list, a state of a port used to transmit the first data stream.

A method is provided, including the following operations: executing a cloud video game in a data center; streaming video generated by the executing cloud video game over a network to a client device; deploying a cloud gaming proxy to an edge compute that is proximate to the client device; wherein the cloud gaming proxy buffers the video and retransmits lost packets of the video to the client device.

An example playback device includes programming for executing functions including, while connected to both (i) a local area network and (ii) an audio playback network configured separately from the local area network and arranged for playback of media content via at least the playback device, receiving from a network device via the local area network, a request for the network device to connect to the audio playback network. The functions also include, in response to the request, transmitting to the network device via the local area network, a message indicating an identifier of the audio playback network and a password for accessing the audio playback network. The functions also include exchanging one or more messages with the network device via the audio playback network to authenticate the network device for the audio playback network and receiving an audio playback command from the network device via the audio playback network.
