Abstract

Apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products are disclosed to use gaze-tracking devices to determine an area of a display screen of most interest to a user and if that area of interest has a bandwidth allocation of increasing that allocation. Thus, the data transfers of interest to the user receive a larger bandwidth allocation than the data transfers that do not interest the user.
