Abstract
A system is configured to obtain information that identifies a first rate for first traffic associated with an object within a desktop associated with a user device and a second rate for second traffic associated with another object within the desktop; provide a virtual desktop based on the information; create a first zone, within the desktop, associated with the object; create a second zone, within the desktop, associated with the other object; compare the first rate and the second rate to a threshold; provide, via the virtual desktop, the first zone, having first appearance attributes, based on the first rate being greater than the threshold, and the second zone, having second appearance attributes, based on the second rate not being greater than the threshold; receive selection of the first zone; and output a request to control the first traffic based on the selection of the first zone.
