| 20100211476 | System and Method for Providing Managed Point to Point Services - Network services systems and methods are provided. A particular system includes an information store including connection information to initiate connections to content sources. The connection information includes an address and a connection rule associated with a video content source. The system includes an access engine to receive a request for an information stream output by the video content source from a user device. The system also includes a services engine to retrieve the connection rule from the information store and to initiate establishment of at least a portion of a point to point protocol communication link between the user device and the video content source in accordance with the connection rule. The system includes a metrics engine to track a metric associated with the point to point protocol communication link and to generate a billing record at least partially based upon the metric. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100333161 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECORDING AND TIME-SHIFTING PROGRAMMING IN A TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM WITH LIMITED CONTENT RETENTION - Various embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide methods and systems to record broadcast programming for at least one television channel for a period of time, wherein the recording is performed upstream from subscribers in a television distribution system, and further including after the period of time, keeping recorded programming by request from at least one subscriber. And further wherein the request is for at least one television program contained in the recorded programming or for a time window for a particular channel. According to another embodiment a subscriber requests that broadcast programming be saved for the subscriber upstream from the subscriber in a television distribution system, and wherein the subscriber may request the programming be saved for later viewing by the subscriber between the time the programming was broadcast and a later point in time. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110035633 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO IDENTIFY DEVICES EMPLOYING POINT-TO-POINT-OVER ETHERNET ENCAPSULATION - A method may include transmitting, during a point-to-point over Ethernet (PPPoE) discovery stage, a PPPoE active discovery (PAD) packet from a customer premises equipment (CPE) device to an access concentrator. The PAD packet may include a tag that is associated with a device type of the CPE device. The method may include receiving a PPPoE active discovery session (PADS) confirmation packet from the access concentrator. The PADS confirmation packet may be associated with conclusion of the PPPoE discovery stage and establishment of an Ethernet communication session between the CPE device and the access concentrator. | 02-10-2011 |

| 20100091961 | System and Method to Identify Customer Premises Equipment Devices - A computer implemented method includes sending a request from a customer service terminal to a broadband remote access server to retrieve a device identifier of a customer premises equipment device. The device identifier is received by the broadband remote access server via a point to point protocol over ethernet active discovery initiation packet sent from the customer premises equipment device. The computer implemented method includes receiving, at the customer service terminal, a response from the broadband remote access server that includes the device identifier of the customer premises equipment device. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20110078792 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING NETWORK SECURITY - A method includes receiving an indication of at least one detected security issue at a network device. The indication is received from a security agent at a security manager processor. The method includes polling, via the security manager processor, at least one other network device in response to the indication in order to retrieve additional information when the security manager processor determines that the additional information is needed. The method includes selecting, via the security manager processor, at least one executable security object responsive to the indication and the additional information. The method also includes initiating communication of the at least one executable security object to the network device via the security manager processor. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20110145731 | SERVING CONTENT-RELEVANT ADVERTISEMENTS WITH CLIENT-SIDE DEVICE SUPPORT - A client-side application (such as a browser, a browser plug-in, a browser toolbar plug-in, etc. on an end user's computer) is used to support the serving of content-relevant ads to the client device. The client-side application may provide such support by sending document information (such as a document identifier, document content, content relevance information, etc.) to a content ad server. The client-side application may also be used to combine content of the document and the content-relevant ads. For example, the client-side application may combine content of the document and the ads in a window (e.g., in a browser window), may provide the ads in a window above, below, adjacent to a document window, may provide the ads in “chrome” of the browser, etc. | 06-16-2011 |
