Patent number: 9659305Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a packet flow associated with a click-through from an end user node destined for an advertiser server; extracting information from the packet flow; analyzing the extracted information to determine one or more characteristics of the packet flow; and classifying the packet flow based on the determined one or more characteristics; modifying the packet flow to include classification information to provide classification information indicating a quality level of the click-through. The packet flow may include a hypertext transfer protocol GET request. Modifying the packet flow may include adding a tag with classification information that indicates a likelihood of fraudulent click behavior associated with the packet flow.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2014Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Michael F. Keohane, Maarten Plesman, Jon Novak, Adrian C. Smethurst, Vincent Mammoliti

Publication number: 20070203999Abstract: Techniques for providing remote access to a service provider network include exchanging multiple Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) formatted messages instead of any Point to Point Protocol (PPP) message to provide all PPP functions for accessing a service provider network from a customer node. The service provider network is on provider premises and the customer node is on customer premises different from the provider premises. The DHCP format is used to exchange authentication messages, user profile data on Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) servers, or session keep-alive echo messages, alone or in some combination. When all are message types are combined, these techniques provide a remote access server (RAS) with the capability to perform all functions presently provided by PPP processes. In some combinations, these techniques allow a modified DHCP server to replace a legacy AAA server.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2006Publication date: August 30, 2007Inventors: William Townsley, Vincent Mammoliti, Ralph Droms, Wojciech Dec, Richard Pruss

Publication number: 20070115962Abstract: Techniques for configuring customer premises equipment for communication with a provider network include establishing a physical layer network connection between a particular customer node and a first provider node. The particular customer node is an intermediate network node on a customer premises. The first provider node is an intermediate network node on a first provider network of a first service provider different from the customer. Configuration data for one or more network interfaces on the particular customer node are automatically received through the physical layer network connection. The particular customer node is automatically configured based on that configuration data. The automatic provisioning of the customer node allows equipment to be more economically shipped and installed at customer premises and allows upgraded or replacement equipment to be more economically swapped in place of equipment previously installed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2005Publication date: May 24, 2007Inventors: Vincent Mammoliti, John Mullooly

Publication number: 20060168270Abstract: Techniques for exchanging point to point protocol (PPP) information among network nodes using an arbitrary network protocol include determining whether a PPP payload includes PPP control data. If so, then an outbound protocol frame is generated with the PPP control data in a payload and with an outbound protocol type field that indicates PPP control data. The outbound protocol frame is sent to a server which uses the PPP control data. The outbound protocol is different from PPP and from PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) and from PPP over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) protocol (PPPoA). The outbound protocol may be Ethernet or ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL) or some other protocol. These techniques allow PPP control plane functionality while utilizing IP over Ethernet for the data plane.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2005Publication date: July 27, 2006Inventors: William Townsley, Huw Jones, Vincent Mammoliti
