A method of network operation, comprising the steps of: installing a client app (42a, 42b, 42c, 42d) on each of several clients (40a, 40b, 40c, 40d); registering with a network resource manager the client app of said each of the several clients, said each of the several clients communicating with a network and the client app of said each of said several clients communicating with the network resource manager via the network; placing the network in a quiet state of operation while communicating data from a data source (47a, 47b, 47c, 47d) of a selected client by data being communicated with the network from all of the several clients by performing the steps of: activating the data source of said each of the several clients by establishing by the client app upon direction by the network resource manager, a VoIP connection (80a, 80b, 80c, 80d) between the data source of said each of the several clients and the network thereby triggering a process by an operating system (51a, 51b, 51c, 51d) of said each of the several clients that restricts data being communicated with the network from said each of the several clients other than data from the data source; dumping at said each of the several clients other than the selected client at least a portion of data being generated by the data source of said each of the several clients other than the selected client thereby preventing communication of at least a portion of the data being generated by the data source of said each of the several clients other than the selected client with the network; and communicating all data from the data source of the selected client with the network; and placing the network from the quiet state of operation into a noisy state of operation, upon direction by the network resource manager, by closing the VoIP connection between the data source of said each of the several clients and the network thereby unrestricting data being communicated with the network from said all of the several clients. installing a client app (42a, 42b, 42c, 42d) on each of several clients (40a, 40b, 40c, 40d); registering with a network resource manager the client app of said each of the several clients, said each of the several clients communicating with a network and the client app of said each of said several clients communicating with the network resource manager via the network; placing the network in a quiet state of operation while communicating data from a data source (47a, 47b, 47c, 47d) of a selected client by data being communicated with the network from all of the several clients by performing the steps of: activating the data source of said each of the several clients by establishing by the client app upon direction by the network resource manager, a VoIP connection (80a, 80b, 80c, 80d) between the data source of said each of the several clients and the network thereby triggering a process by an operating system (51a, 51b, 51c, 51d) of said each of the several clients that restricts data being communicated with the network from said each of the several clients other than data from the data source; dumping at said each of the several clients other than the selected client at least a portion of data being generated by the data source of said each of the several clients other than the selected client thereby preventing communication of at least a portion of the data being generated by the data source of said each of the several clients other than the selected client with the network; and communicating all data from the data source of the selected client with the network; activating the data source of said each of the several clients by establishing by the client app upon direction by the network resource manager, a VoIP connection (80a, 80b, 80c, 80d) between the data source of said each of the several clients and the network thereby triggering a process by an operating system (51a, 51b, 51c, 51d) of said each of the several clients that restricts data being communicated with the network from said each of the several clients other than data from the data source; dumping at said each of the several clients other than the selected client at least a portion of data being generated by the data source of said each of the several clients other than the selected client thereby preventing communication of at least a portion of the data being generated by the data source of said each of the several clients other than the selected client with the network; and communicating all data from the data source of the selected client with the network; and placing the network from the quiet state of operation into a noisy state of operation, upon direction by the network resource manager, by closing the VoIP connection between the data source of said each of the several clients and the network thereby unrestricting data being communicated with the network from said all of the several clients.
