Abstract: Techniques for discovering a network using a sensor installed in the network, where the network is communicatively coupled to an external network by a router, are presented. The techniques can include: determining, automatically and by the sensor, a network address of the router; detecting, automatically and by the sensor, a network address of a client in the network; assessing, automatically and by the sensor, that the client in the network is actively communicating on the network; communicating, by the sensor, with the network address of the router; and participating, by the sensor, in communications on the network by emulating the network address of the client and by using the network address of the router.

Abstract: A system for facilitating the execution of law enforcement duties is disclosed. More particularly, according to one aspect of the invention, an electronic system is configured to facilitate the performance of law enforcement duties by quasi-instantaneously providing actionable intelligence to its users, such as front-line law enforcement officers, in response to a real-time query (e.g., accessing witness, medical, military personnel, law enforcement personnel, and government personnel information). According to another aspect of the invention, a system implements a set of automated status classifications for subjects with suspected or confirmed involvement in criminal and/or terrorist activities. The status classifications specifically and concisely establish the subject's involvement in criminal and/or terrorist activities.

Abstract: A method for data communication between a first node and a second node over a data path includes determining one or more redundancy messages from data messages at the first node using an error correcting code and transmitting messages from the first node to the second node. The transmitted messages include the data messages and the redundancy messages. The method includes, receiving, at the first node, messages indicative of a rate of arrival at the second node of the messages transmitted from the first node, and receiving messages indicative of successful and unsuccessful delivery of the messages transmitted from the first node to the second node. A first transmission limit and a second transmission limit are maintained according to the received messages. Transmission of messages from the first node to the second node is inhibited according to the maintained first transmission limit, and according to the second transmission limit.

Abstract: A method for data communication between a first node and a second node over a data path coupling the first node and the second node includes transmitting a segment of data from the first node to the second node over the data path as a number of messages, the number of messages being transmitted according to a transmission order. A degree of redundancy associated with each message of the number of messages is determined based on a position of said message in the transmission order.

Abstract: A method for data communication between a first node and a second node over a number of data paths coupling the first node and the second node includes transmitting messages between the first node and the second node over the number of data paths including transmitting a first subset of the messages over a first data path of the number of data paths, and transmitting a second subset of the messages over a second data path of the number of data paths. The first data path has a first latency and the second data path has a second latency substantially larger than the first latency, and messages of the first subset of the messages are chosen to have first message characteristics and messages of the second subset are chosen to have second message characteristics, different from the first message characteristics.
