Abstract: Systems and methods for replication of test results in a network environment are disclosed. Methods described may include recording network traffic in a first instance of a test case by a network emulator node emplaced in the network environment, recording a time at which a connection open at the network emulator node completes a communication task, and deriving an order of task completion for each extant open connection thereby, and detecting the occurrence of one or more events, such as a packet drop, a packet retransmission, or a packet delay, among other events. Replication, as described, additionally involves recording the nature of the event and identification information associated with the packet to which the event is detected to have occurred; and associating the one or more events with each of the packets recorded, on the basis of the identification information and event recording.

Abstract: Smart leave technology for the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) can reduce the amount of network bandwidth consumed by unintended multicast traffic resulting from a “lost leave” situation. A network device (such as a residential gateway) positioned between a host and an upstream router, upon receipt of unintended multicast traffic, sends a leave message to the router informing the router that the network device in no longer part of the group. The network device drops the uninterested multicast traffic and starts a countdown timer. Upon expiration of the timer, the network device sends another leave command to the router and starts the timer anew. This process repeats as long as unintended multicast traffic is received at the network device. If a host downstream from the network device joins the unintended multicast group, the network device delivers any subsequent packets associated with the multicast group to the host.

Abstract: A method & system for human interactive proof (HIP) is provided. A user is provided to respond a query linked to a logical captcha object or an analytical captcha object.
