Abstract
A system for efficient routing of real-time multimedia information is provided. The system efficiently routes messages containing real-time multimedia information by configuring and using multi-control unit connectors ('connectors'), which are special-purpose components optimized to route messages. A computing device may use multiple connectors to dynamically create connections with resources of the computing device or other computing devices simultaneously. An application can dynamically configure a connector to operate as client, server, or client-servers. The connector may also have a mode in which it operates, such as mixer, reflector, or selector. These modes may define how a connector is to process received messages before forwarding them. By using the various modes and roles, the system can be used to combine and efficiently route multimedia information for meaningful presentation to users of disparate computing devices.
