  • Publication number: 20130198410
    Abstract: Method and system for routing EPP requests over a network are provided. The EPP request can include XML namespace information and optionally XML sub-product information. A gateway can receive the request and analyze the namespace and in some instances, sub-product information to determine the service to which the request is directed. Thereupon, the gateway can route the request to the appropriate service by consulting a routing table that can have status and connectivity information for all the available services.

  • Publication number: 20130174125
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for integrating JAVA objects, such as handlers, into a scripting language to be used as part of a test automation environment including a test automation tool. The environment can access and execute one or more script files coded using diverse scripting languages designed to exercise and test DNS servers, registries, and/or other network entities. The test automation tool can invoke a set of generalized handlers that may comprise compiled JAVA objects configured to perform specific testing functions. The test automation tool may load a script for a test case and a scripting language, establish a controller, and interface the script to the intermediate JAVA handlers to abstract individual script files for use in a more universal fashion, avoiding incompatibilities that can arise between various script languages.

  • Publication number: 20130117013
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present teachings relate to systems and methods for generating pronounceable domain names. The method includes proving a list of character strings; filtering the list of character strings through a first filter based on a phonetic model to produce a first filtered list of character strings; filtering the list of character strings through a second filter based on a character order mode to produce a second filtered list of character strings; and generating, by a processor, a list of pronounceable domain names based on the first filtered list of character strings and the second filtered list of character strings.

  • Publication number: 20130117282
    Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing domain name system lookup data are disclosed. The method may include: calculating traffic scores for a network address based on a set of DNS lookup data associated with the network address, where the set of DNS lookup data includes a plurality of query records having one or more queried network addresses; calculating a first variance and a second variance for the network address based on the traffic scores for the network address; and determining a rank of the network address based on the first and second variances.
