Abstract: At least two egress provider edge (PE) routers of a service provider core network of a virtual private network are set as an anycast transport node. The same logical IP address and the same interior label are allocated to the egress PE routers. The same service label is allocated to virtual private networks, or private routes of virtual private networks, serviced by the two egress PE routers constituting the anycast transport node.

Abstract: A high speed single bridge system providing network and data transfer capabilities, implemented via standard input/output (I/O) devices, protocols, cables and components, to interconnect two or more host computing systems, and to provide connections to peripherals. One aspect of the invention connects two or more host systems via USB ports and cables, establishing network, control, data exchange, and power management required to route and transfer data at high speeds. A second aspect provides for a symmetrical port that senses Host and Peripheral connections so as to provide a single apparatus for connecting Hosts and Peripherals at any port. Requiring only a single link, the invention requires significantly fewer components than existing designs. The method describes how two or more connected host systems detect one another, and establish separate control communication and data exchange bridges, wherein control sequences generated by an application on a host direct operation of the bridging apparatus.

Abstract: A High Speed Link System providing network and data transfer capabilities, implemented via standard input/output (I/O) device controllers, protocols, cables and components, to connect one or more Host computing systems, comprising a System, Apparatus and Method is claimed; and described in one or more embodiments. An illustrative embodiment of the invention connects two or more Host systems via USB 3.0 ports and cables, establishing Network, Control, Data Exchange, and Power management required to route and transfer data at high speeds, as well as resource sharing. A Link System established using USB 3.0 operates at the full 4.8 Gbps, eliminating losses inherent when translating to, or encapsulating within, a network protocol, such as the Internet Protocol. Method claimed herein describes how two or more connected Host systems, detect one another, and establish separate communication and data exchange bridges, wherein control sequences from the Hosts' application direct the operation of the Apparatus.

Abstract: Methods and systems for scoring domain names are provided. A domain name may be scored based on a set of criteria, and a sub-score assigned to each criteria. The sub-scores may be used to generate a domain name score and identify ways of increasing the score of the domain name. A domain name score may provide an indication of the value or usefulness of the domain name.

Abstract: A method for purchasing a domain name registration. A user conducts a search to determine if a domain name is available. If it is already registered, the user can make an anonymous offer through a third party to the present registrant to purchase the domain name registration. The offer is certified by the third party by verifying that a financial instrument provided by the user has available funds that are at least sufficient to pay the offer amount for the domain name.

Abstract: Techniques for neighbor list provision in a communication network are described. From an access terminal, a query for potential access points within communication range of the access terminal is received; and neighbor list information is provided to the access terminal. The neighbor list information is associated with available access points capable of providing the access terminal with access to a network.

Abstract: Standard content created for use on non-mobile platforms, such as personal computers, is made available and useful to mobile devices. A request for content from a mobile device is sent to a mobile server using the DNS or a redirect from a standard content server. The mobile server obtains the standard content and normalizes it for use on the mobile device. The normalized content is sent to the requesting mobile device.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for forwarding a web address to another web address is presented. A web forwarder receives a request destined to a first web address including at least a domain name. The web forwarder then determines a forwarding uniform resource locator (URL) that corresponds to the domain name and redirects the request to a second web address that corresponds to the forwarding URL.
