20120129585SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SCORING COMPETITIVE STRATEGY PREDICTIONS OF USERS ON A PLAY-BY-PLAY BASIS - The present disclosure describes, among other things, a method that includes receiving, by a first computing device, an identity of an event that has occurred in a sporting competition, the sporting competition comprising a plurality of events. The method includes determining, by a processor of the first computing device, a probability that the event would occur. The method includes determining, by the processor of the first computing device, a number of points based at least in part on the probability that the event would occur. The method includes receiving, by the first computing device, a prediction of an event from a second computing device in communication with the first computing device. The method includes increasing, by the processor of the first computing device, a score of a user of the second computing device by the number of points if the prediction of the event matches the identity of the event.05-24-2012

20090003313Activating a Tunnel upon Receiving a Control Packet - Packet switch operating methods and packet switches receive, at a packet switch, a control packet from another packet switch. The packet switch and the other packet switch are coupled together by two or more tunnels. The control packet indicates that a particular one of the tunnels is active on the other packet switch. In response, the packet switch operating methods and packet switches activate the particular tunnel indicated by the received control packet on the packet switch.01-01-2009
20090003336Determining a Logical Neighbor of a Network Element - Element managers and processes receive, from a selected network element, first neighbor information describing a first neighboring network element directly connected to the selected network element and second neighbor information describing a different second neighboring network element directly connected to the selected network element. Based at least in part on the first neighbor information and the second neighbor information, the element managers and processes determine that the first neighboring network element is a logical neighbor that is connected by a tunnel to the selected network element and is coupled to the selected network element via one or more intermediate packet switches.01-01-2009
20090003337Determining the State of a Tunnel with Respect to a Control Protocol - Element managers and processes retrieve information from a first packet switch. The information is derived from layer-two (data link layer) control packets relayed from a second packet switch to the first packet switch via a tunnel. The layer-two control packets conform to a layer-two control protocol. Based at least in part on the retrieved information, the element managers and processes determine that the tunnel is configured to relay layer-two control packets conforming to the layer-two control protocol despite a desired tunnel configuration specifying that the tunnel should not be configured to relay layer-two control packets conforming to the layer-two control protocol. Element managers and processes may alternatively or additionally detect other discrepancies between the desired tunnel configuration and the tunnel.01-01-2009
20100098098Virtual Switching Using a Provisional Identifier to Conceal a User Identifier - This document describes tools useful in relaying a data stream from a data device to a network tunnel, such as by enabling virtual switching using a provisional identifier to conceal a user identifier. These tools, for example, may use an inexpensive switch module to create virtual switch instances. To do so, the tools may assign data packets to a virtual switch instance by mapping the data packets to a particular provisional identifier and then modifying the data packets to include the provisional identifier. The switch module may then forward the data packets based on the provisional identifier rather than on the user identifier. The tools may remove the provisional identifier before forwarding the data packets to a destination.04-22-2010

20110099053METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING SUCCESSFUL USE OF APPLICATION SOFTWARE - A method and system for monitoring the success level with which application software is being used by customers so that its successful use can be encouraged. Factors that are common to customers known to be using the software are identified and used in an algorithmic process to generate a success level score for each customer or for each plurality of customers as a measure of how successfully the customer or the combined plurality of customers is using the software. Factors that are inapplicable to a particular customer are excepted from the algorithmic process for that customer. Any factor that is being used collectively by the customers at a high level of success is removed and replaced by a new factor to assure continuing accuracy of the success level score. The scores and other data can be displayed in a number of ways useful both to the customers and the software supplier.04-28-2011
