ABSTRACT:
A collaborative computing system includes a plurality of collaborative computing participants, connected over a network. Each collaborative computing participant has a workstation that includes a conference engine, which provides a network interface between applications and the network. The applications are organized into application modules, each of which provides a collaborative computing function. Either the conference engine or the application modules fragment a data packet to be sent to other participants into a set of equally-sized cells. The cells are transmitted individually over the network via switching entities, which can be other participants in the collaborative session. Each switching entity maintains a list of connections from itself to other switching entities.
