Abstract: The present method and system relate to categorizing URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) of web pages accessed by multiple users over an IP (Internet Protocol) based data network. The method and system collect real time data from IP data traffic occurring on the IP based data network, and extract parameters from the collected real time data, the parameters including an URL of a web page. The URL is processed by a rule based categorization engine, to associate a matching category to the URL of the web page. When no matching category is inferred, the URL is transferred to a semantic based categorization engine. A matching category is associated to the transferred URL by the semantic based categorization engine, based on a semantic analysis of the textual content extracted from the web page associated to the URL.

Abstract: The present relates to a method and a system for identifying an application type from encrypted traffic transported over an IP network. The method and system extract at least a portion of IP flow parameters from the encrypted traffic using at least one of specific target encryption types. Then, the method and system transmit the extracted IP flow parameters to a learning-based classification engine. The learning-based classification engine has been trained with unencrypted traffic. Then, the method and system infer at least one corresponding application type for the extracted IP flow parameters.

Abstract: The present method and system relate to analyzing journeys of at least one subscriber consuming a plurality of Internet services, using at least one device over multiple access technologies. The method and system store in a database, for each subscriber, a series of unique identifiers, each unique identifier corresponding to a specific device of the subscriber. The method and system collect, by means of multiple monitoring probes, real time data from IP traffic; and extract information from the collected real time data, the information comprising one of the unique identifiers. The information is transmitted to an analytic system, where it is aggregated per subscriber, using the unique identifiers to federate the plurality of devices for the same subscriber over the multiple access technologies. For each subscriber, a journey is generated, by processing the aggregated information with the analytic system.

Abstract: The present method and system relate to monitoring a subscriber base in an IP data network. The method and system receive at a subscriber base system information extracted from collected data of IP data sessions. The extracted information comprises at least a unique identifier and a timestamp. The subscriber base system queries a subscriber database with the extracted information to correlate with a corresponding subscriber record. If the extracted information is correlated to the corresponding subscriber record, the extracted information is used to update the subscriber database. If the extracted information cannot be correlated to an existing subscriber record, the extracted information is used to create a new subscriber record in the subscriber database.

Abstract: The present relates to a method and a system for identifying applications accessing HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) based content in IP data networks. The method and system collects, by means of at least one collecting entity, real time data from IP data traffic occurring in an IP data network. The method and system extracts information from the collected real time data, the information comprising parameters related to an application accessing HTTP based content in the IP data network. And, the method and system transmits the information from the at least one collecting entity to an analytic system. The method and system further processes the information, at the analytic system. The processing comprises: analyzing the parameters related to an application accessing HTTP based content to identify the application.

Abstract: A method and system for collecting and analyzing IPTV traffic in an IPTV network including end user premises, an access network, and an IP core network, wherein filtering sub-systems are deployed to collect in real time IPTV traffic using at least one access technology. The filtering sub-systems are deployed in at least one location selected from the group consisting of the end user premises, the access network, and the IP core network, and the at least one location of the filtering sub-systems is selected to collect IPTV traffic with a granularity at the level of the end users. The collected IPTV traffic is transmitted from the filtering sub-systems to a centralized analytic system, the collected IPTV traffic is aggretated in relation to the end users, and business intelligence and marketing oriented analysis is performed over the collected IPTV traffic using the centralized analytic system.

Abstract: The present method and system relate for analyzing a mobile operator data network. The method and system dynamically collect and record information of mobile devices from Internet Protocol data sessions occurring on the mobile operator data network. The collected information is processed to detect and record at least one change in one of the mobile devices with a date of occurrence. The method and system then analyze the collected information and the recorded at least one change to generate metrics representative of evolution on the mobile operator data network.

Abstract: A method and system, for transmitting data to a mobile node (4) over a unidirectional link (12) in a packet data network, for example an IP network, comprises: sending a message from a protocol address, e.g. IP address, of a bidirectional interface at the mobile node (4) to the home agent (6), the message comprising a protocol address of a unidirectional interface at the mobile node (4), wherein the protocol address of the bidirectional interface is different to the protocol address of the unidirectional interface; the home agent (6) transmitting data to the mobile node (4) using the protocol address of the unidirectional interface as the care-of-address; and delivering the transmitted data via the unidirectional link (12) to the unidirectional interface of the mobile node (4). The protocol address of the unidirectional interface may be contained in the message in the form of an extension appended to a registration.
