TLDR
In this article, a load balancer that distributes packets across different transmission paths according to transmission path quality is introduced, along with a DNS proxy server that transparently creates a virtual private network in response to a domain name inquiry.Abstract:
A plurality of computer nodes communicate using seemingly random Internet Protocol source and destination addresses. Data packets matching criteria defined by a moving window of valid addresses are accepted for further processing, while those that do not meet the criteria are quickly rejected. Improvements to the basic design include (1) a load balancer that distributes packets across different transmission paths according to transmission path quality; (2) a DNS proxy server that transparently creates a virtual private network in response to a domain name inquiry; (3) a large-to-small link bandwidth management feature that prevents denial-of-service attacks at system chokepoints; (4) a traffic limiter that regulates incoming packets by limiting the rate at which a transmitter can be synchronized with a receiver; and (5) a signaling synchronizer that allows a large number of nodes to communicate with a central node by partitioning the communication function between two separate entities.read more

Method and apparatus for order independent processing of virtual private network protocols
John J. Stanaway,Kumar Vemuri +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a protocol discriminator reads the stored rules and procedures identified for the source IP address of the received packet and passes the received packets to a first protocol module as identified in the stored rule and procedure. At the completion of processing, the second protocol module returns the packet to the discriminator.
Patent
Method and apparatus for anonymous IP datagram exchange using dynamic network address translation
TL;DR: In this paper, the identity of a network device transmitting a datagram having a network layer header is concealed by encrypting a plurality of identifying portions of the network layer headers, where one portion of the header is the unique local identifier.
Patent

The Bargaining Problem
TL;DR: In this paper, a new treatment is presented of a classical economic problem, one which occurs in many forms, as bargaining, bilateral monopoly, etc It may also be regarded as a nonzero-sum two-person game in which a few general assumptions are made concerning the behavior of a single individual and of a group of two individuals in certain economic environments.
An Architecture for Differentiated Service
TL;DR: An architecture for implementing scalable service differentiation in the Internet achieves scalability by aggregating traffic classification state which is conveyed by means of IP-layer packet marking using the DS field [DSFIELD].

TL;DR: The Hypertext Transfer Protocol is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems, which can be used for many tasks beyond its use for hypertext through extension of its request methods, error codes and headers.
