| 20090316578 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A WEIGHTED BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION FOR A NETWORK - A method and apparatus for providing bandwidth allocation for a network are disclosed. For example, the method receives data from a plurality of subscribers for transmission, and allocates a minimum reserved bandwidth to each of the plurality of subscribers. The method then allocates a portion of a shareable bandwidth to at least one of the plurality of subscribers in accordance with a weight factor. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100121980 | METHOD OF GENERATING ROUND ROBIN SERVICE ORDER LISTS FOR IMPROVING SERVICE PERFORMANCE DURING SERVER FAILURES - A network communication node includes a request distribution manager that combines a plurality of permutations of sequences for routing requests to a plurality of servers. The request distribution managers also generates instructions for routing the requests to the plurality of servers, based on the combination of the plurality of permutations. The network communication node also includes a router that routes the requests to the plurality of servers based on the instructions. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100125656 | System and Method for Request Routing Optimization - A system includes a monitoring module, a request allocation module, and a request distribution module. The monitoring module is configured to determine a resource utilization of a preferred server and a non-preferred server. The request allocation module is configured to modify an allocation scheme in response to the resource utilization of the preferred server and the non-preferred server. The request distribution module is configured to distribute a plurality of requests from a plurality of users according to the allocation scheme. | 05-20-2010 |
| 20100161537 | System and Method for Detecting Email Spammers - A system and method for detecting Email spammers from unknown SMTP Clients using the unknown SMTP Client's SMTP traffic information e.g. byte size and variability data. The system and method includes a byte size and variability traffic flow model and a classification system. The traffic flow model may be based upon a standard deviation of byte size and variability of traffic flows for a plurality of legitimate SMTP Clients and for a plurality of Spammer SMTP Clients. The classification system then classifies an Unknown SMTP Client as an Email Spammer based on a comparison between the byte size and the variability of the Unknown SMTP Client's traffic flows with the byte size and variability traffic flow model. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100162396 | System and Method for Detecting Remotely Controlled E-mail Spam Hosts - A system for detecting a remotely controlled e-mail spam host. The system includes an E-mail spammer detection unit and a host traffic profiling unit. The E-mail spammer detection unit identifies E-mail Spammers based on SMTP traffic characteristics. The host profiling unit extracts traffic components from the plurality of Internet traffic associated with an E-mail Spammer; interprets the extracted traffic components and determines whether the E-mail Spammer is a compromised host. The system may also include a botnet controller detection unit that analyzes traffic associated with compromised E-mail Spammers and identifies the botnet Controller remotely controlling the compromised E-mail Spammer. | 06-24-2010 |
