A system for controlling video and audio devices distributed over a power-line communications (PLC) network. Streaming video and/or audio is communicated between media devices interfaced with a power-line communications (PLC) network. The devices are typically controlled by a media server which is preferably configured for receiving commands from a user utilizing a remote control unit, wherein commands are received by a media device, and certain commands which are not directed at that media device are passed through the media device to the media server for controlling the action of other media devices. The server supports adjusting encoding and/or decoding latency for synchronizing streams being input or output on media devices. Locking functions and password control features are provided for limiting control or dissemination of content. Rate control is preferably provided for limiting bandwidth utilization by streams, and a room-to-room live pause feature to prevent loss due to interruptions.

A cross domain provisioning method, system and architecture for securely managing digital identities across a wide variety of IT systems, providing unified administration, compliance and auditing, and simplified connectivity. The combined use of certain aspects of the illustrative IDM Provisioning Platform (DataForum™), Connectivity Component Architecture, Design-Time Client Workflow Tool, and the use of digital certificates to secure cross domain communication channels, collectively offer a unique approach to solving cross domain provisioning problems.

The present invention provides methods and devices for implementing a Low Latency Ethernet (“LLE”) solution, also referred to herein as a Data Center Ethernet (“DCE”) solution, which simplifies the connectivity of data centers and provides a high bandwidth, low latency network for carrying Ethernet and storage traffic. Some aspects of the invention involve transforming FC frames into a format suitable for transport on an Ethernet. Some preferred implementations of the invention implement multiple virtual lanes (“VLs”) in a single physical connection of a data center or similar network. Some VLs are “drop” VLs, with Ethernet-like behavior, and others are “no-drop” lanes with FC-like behavior. Some preferred implementations of the invention provide guaranteed bandwidth based on credits and VL. Active buffer management allows for both high reliability and low latency while using small frame buffers. Preferably, the rules for active buffer management are different for drop and no drop VLs.

A connectivity device permits simplified connections for realizing complex networking topologies using lower cost components.
