1. A method of switching real-time data stream connections between network nodes sharing a virtual area, comprising:

  • ascertaining a set of real-time data streams that enable a given one of the network nodes that is associated with a respective position in the virtual area to participate in a communication session with one or more other ones of the network nodes that are associated with respective positions in the virtual area;

    determining one or more real-time data stream connections that deliver the set of real-time data streams to the given network node based at least in part on bandwidth capabilities of the given network node; and

    establishing the one or more determined real-time data stream connections between the given network node and one or more of the other ones of the network nodes.
