Abstract: A system and methods for generating dynamic market pricing that is fair for both publishers and advertisers and the use of the pricing in real-time auctions. When a user views content over the internet, an online publisher provides content to the user with executable instructions, which notify an advertisement source that there is an impression for filling by an advertiser. The impression is submitted to a real-time bidding market for competing advertisers to bid to fill the impression with an advertisement. The system and methods generate dynamic pricing for the individual competing advertisers and use the dynamic pricing to compare advertiser bids to determine a highest or winning bid and a clearing price associated with the highest or winning bid.

Abstract: Computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, are described for detecting and limiting focused server overload in a network. A feedback message is received from a downstream server, wherein the feedback message includes a communication protocol statistic. The methods and apparatuses determine which of one or more counters that store a number of feedback messages received that include the statistic, from an array of counters, are associated with the downstream server using one or more hash functions based on information included in the feedback message. The one or more counters are incremented in response to the feedback message including the statistic. Using the one or more hash functions, a value of the number stored in the one or more counters is determined. The value is determined to be indicative of an overload episode in the network for the downstream server based on whether the value satisfies a predetermined criteria.
