  • Patent number: 11038953
    Abstract: Internet bound traffic that is being routed through a particular interface within an edge router can, under some circumstances, be moved to a different interface. In some situations, one or more Internet protocol (IP) flows can be moved to a different interface within the same edge router. In other situations, one or more IP flows can be moved to a different interface within a different edge router. Decisions to move Internet traffic to a different interface can be based on information about interfaces within the various edge routers in a cloud computing provider's network, information about IP flows that are being sent through the various interfaces, peering capacity information and information about the latency associated with particular Internet paths. Some or all of the information that is used in connection with traffic steering decisions can be based on real-time measurements.

  • Patent number: 11038906
    Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying threats within a network include collecting network traffic data and providing the network traffic data to a classifier configured to identify patterns within the network traffic data consistent with malicious computing devices. The computing devices identified by the classifier are then validated to confirm whether they are, in fact, malicious. In one implementation, such validation is accomplished by interrogating suspected malicious computing devices with messages according to a particular communication protocol and determining whether corresponding responses received form the malicious computing devices are similarly in accordance with the communication protocol. In certain implementations, after identification and validation of a malicious computing device, an emulated computing device is used to continue communication with the malicious computing device and to log characteristics of such communications to further train the classifier.

  • Patent number: 11036374
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method that includes displaying a graphical user interface (“GUI”) and receiving personalized information from at least one server computing device. The GUI includes a page. The personalized information identifies a theatre location, movies playing at the theatre location, dates, and showtimes associated with the movies and dates. The method includes displaying on the page, the movies, dates on which a particular movie is showing, and a particular showtime on a particular date. A selection is entered by the user into a user input displayed on the page. The selection changes the theatre location, the particular movie, the particular date, and/or the particular showtime without the user exiting the page. The page updates automatically to display the user selection. An indication is received that the user has selected a purchase input display on the page, and a purchase of at least one movie ticket is completed.
