An apparatus and method for enhancing the infrastructure of a network such as the Internet is disclosed. Multiple edge servers and edge caches are provided at the edge of the network so as to cover and monitor all points of presence. The edge servers selectively intercept domain name translation requests generated by downstream clients, coupled to the monitored points of presence, to subscribing Web servers and provide translations which either enhance content delivery services or redirect the requesting client to the edge cache to make its content requests. Further, network traffic monitoring is provided in order to detect malicious or otherwise unauthorized data transmissions.read more

Map-matching for low-sampling-rate GPS trajectories
TL;DR: The results show that the ST-matching algorithm significantly outperform incremental algorithm in terms of matching accuracy for low-sampling trajectories and when compared with AFD-based global algorithm, ST-Matching also improves accuracy as well as running time.
Patent
Firewall providing enhanced network security and user transparency
Ralph Wesinger,Christopher Coley +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a firewall that achieves maximum network security and maximum user convenience by employing envoys that exhibit the security robustness of prior-art proxies and the transparency and ease-of-use of packet filters, combining the best of both worlds.

Data transfer and synchronization system
David L. Multer,Robert E. Garner,Leighton Ridgard,Liam Stannard,Donald W. Cash,Richard Onyon +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a data transmission system is described which optimizes transfer and updates of information between systems by providing difference information between the systems, and the system transmits data packages having instructions for manipulating user data.
Patent
Advanced contact identification system
TL;DR: In this article, a system and method of advanced identification information to be created and distributed to users of wireless communication devices, such as mobile phones, is presented, where subscribers can define their own personas as collections of information which define the users.
Patent
HTML delivery from edge-of-network servers in a content delivery network (CDN)
TL;DR: In this article, a content delivery network is enhanced to provide for delivery of cacheable markup language content files such as HTML, where the content provider provides the CDNSP with an association of the content providers's domain name (e.g., www.customer.com) to an origin server domain name.

Differentiated content and application delivery via internet
TL;DR: In this article, a centralized and differentiated content and application delivery system allows content providers to directly control the delivery of content based on regional and temporal preferences, client identity and content priority.
Patent
Global hosting system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose an architecture that allows a Content Provider to replicate and serve its most popular content at an unlimited number of points throughout the world, by serving the base HTML document from the Content Provider's site, maintaining control over the content.

Method and system for directing a flow between a client and a server
Steven Colby,John J. Krawczyk,Raj Krishnan Nair,Katherine Royce,Kenneth P. Siegel,Richard C. Stevens,Scott Wasson +6 more
TL;DR: Content-aware flow switches as discussed by the authors intercepts a client content request in an IP network, and transparently directs the content request to a best-fit server based on the type of content requested, the quality of service requirements implied by the content requests, the degree of load on available servers, network congestion information, and the proximity of the client to available servers.
Patent
Agile network protocol for secure communications with assured system availability
TL;DR: 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.
Patent
Automatic retrieval of changed files by a network software agent
TL;DR: In this article, an intelligent network agent intercepts transactions between clients and servers to perform Distributed Information Logistics Services (DILS) functions such as automatically retrieving updated files from remote servers and delivering them to local client programs.
