Abstract:
A method for dynamically adapting to increased system load at a selective forwarding unit (SFU) is disclosed. In an embodiment, an SFU sends a plurality of video streams to a plurality of participant computing devices. The SFU monitors a system load value on the SFU according to any of a plurality of metrics. When the SFU determines that the monitored system load value exceeds a stored load threshold value, the SFU selects one or more of the streams being sent to participant computing devices and disables them.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n sending, from a selective forwarding unit (SFU) to each of a plurality of participant computing devices, one or more digital video streams, wherein the SFU stores identifiers of each participant computing device among the plurality of participant computing devices; monitoring, at the SFU, a system load value which estimates a load on the SFU according to any of a plurality of different load metrics; determining that the system load value exceeds a particular load threshold value; computing, for each of the plurality of participant computing devices, a participant effect value which estimates an effect of disabling one or more streams for the participant computing device; selecting a subset of the identifiers of the plurality of participant computing devices such that an aggregated participant effect value for participant computing devices corresponding to the identifiers of the subset is minimized and a particular load reduction is obtained; for each participant computing device that corresponds to one of the identifiers of the subset, disabling one or more of the digital video streams that are sent to the participant computing device from the SFU.
