Tile cache techniques are described. In at least some embodiments, a tile cache is maintained that stores tile content for a plurality of tiles. The tile content is ordered in the tile cache to match a visual order of tiles in a graphical user interface. When tiles are moved (e.g., panned and/or scrolled) in the graphical user interface, tile content can be retrieved from the tile cache and displayed.

Embodiments relate to classifying network streams and regulating behavior of the streams based on their respective classes. One technique for managing streams involves analyzing applications, obtaining indicia of features of the applications, and using those features to infer classes to which streams of the applications may be assigned. Another technique involves deploying beacon nodes at the edge of a network. The beacon nodes inform a stream manager about network conditions such as latencies with regard to network boundaries or regions. Another embodiment for facilitating management of streams involves a subscription service for UDP applications. A UDP application may subscribe to the service, which may be provided by an operating system hosting the application. Events are published to any subscribed UDP applications to inform the UDP applications of changes in networking conditions. The UDP applications, in turn, may adapt their internal transmission control logic.

Managing classified network streams

An operating system implements classes of network streams. Applications assign their network streams to the classes. The operating system, in turn, regulates the streams according to which classes the streams are in. As conditions change, network resources may be made available or more fully utilized by regulating streams according to which classes they have been assigned to. Network resources may be made available, perhaps rapidly or preemptively, for streams in higher priority classes by restricting streams in lower priority classes.

Network classification for applications

Implementing desired business logic functionality. The desired business logic functionality may include a number of individual functions. A number of computer implemented modules are selected. Each module is configured to perform at least a portion of one of the individual functions. Additionally, each module includes a computer implemented interface for connecting to other modules. The implemented modules are connected to create a composite module. The composite module includes functionality for implementing the individual functions. The composite module includes computer implemented interfaces for connecting to other modules, including a UI module. As such, the composite module is reusable in implementing more complex functionality by being selected as a computer implemented module and being connected to other computer implemented modules. The composite module is agnostic to how a UI module exposes functionality to a user.
