  • Patent number: 7626927
    Abstract: A system and method of data transmission in a wireless communication network are disclosed. The method comprises detecting an error in an original transmission and in response thereto, determining that latency sensitive data in the original transmission would be stale when transmitting a copy of the original transmission. The method further comprises transmitting the copy of the original transmission when a retransmission value function at least equals a predetermined threshold and transmitting a new transmission when the retransmission value function is less than the predetermined threshold. The new transmission comprises a copy of the data from the original transmission that is not stale when transmitting the new transmission.

  • Patent number: 7028179
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for secure, automated response to distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are described. The method includes notification of a DDoS attack received by an Internet host. Once received by an Internet host, the Internet host establishes security authentication from an upstream router from which the attack traffic, transmitted by one or more host computers, is received. The Internet host then transmits filter(s) to the upstream router generated based upon characteristics of the attack traffic. Once installed by the upstream router, the attack traffic is dropped to terminate a DDoS attack. In addition, the router may determine upstream router(s) coupled to ports from which attack traffic is received, and securely forward the filter(s) to the upstream routers as a routing protocol updated in order to drop the attack traffic at a point closer to a source of the DDoS attack.
