Abstract: A system and method which may allow a Web application to manage cookies and prevent important data in cookies from being arbitrarily deleted. Cookie data may be separated into a number of tiers according to their importance. When a request to write new data to a cookie is received, the tier to which the new data belongs may be determined and compared to the tier(s) of existing data in the cookie, and existing data may be deleted from the cookie to free room for the new data only when the existing data is not more important than the new data.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus that receives, over a network from a computing device being used by a user, a request to configure a first software module host with respect to a software module, the first software module host associated with the user. The apparatus transmits over the network to the computing device instructions to configure, for display by the computing device, the first software module host in accordance with the request. The apparatus computer transmits over the network to the computing device instructions to apply the same configuration with respect to the software module to a second software module host, the second software module host also associated with the user.

Abstract: IPv6 traffic may be carried through an MPLS IPv4 network without the use of IPv6-over-IPv4 tunneling. This provides great savings in overhead, signaling, and state information storage and also allows for routing through the MPLS IPv4 network to adjust in response to changes in network state. In one embodiment, an edge node of an MPLS IPv4 network resolves a destination IPv6 network of a received IPv6 packet to an MPLS label switched path. The resolution exploits received inter-domain routing information. This information identifies the IPv4 address of an egress node that is usable as a gateway to the destination network. Within the inter-domain routing information, the IPv4 address may be encoded in IPv6 format.

Abstract: A method of automatically creating a personalized homepage which infers one or more categories of interest from previous user activities in a different but related web service product, instead of expressly asking the user to input his/her areas of interest.

Abstract: IPv6 traffic may be carried through an MPLS IPv4 network without the use of IPv6-over-IPv4 tunneling. An IPv6 packet is sent through the MPLS IPv4 network through a label switched path (LSP). The IPv6 packet is encapsulated with a label stack associated with the LSP. A second level label is used in the label stack (in addition to the label associated with the LSP). This second level label provides important benefits.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to configuration and use of business processes in a business application software in terms of generic control elements that model a wide spectrum of business processes.
