  • Method and system for detecting and reducing botnet activity
    Patent number: 8612579
    Abstract: A method and system for detecting and reducing botnet activity includes tracking the number of connections to a destination address over predetermined periods of time. A persistence value is assigned to the destination address based on the number of time periods during which the destination address was connected. The persistence value is compared to a threshold value and an alert is generated if the persistence value is greater than the threshold value. Known safe destinations may be entered into a whitelist.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 26, 2011
    Date of Patent: December 17, 2013
    Assignee: Intel Corporation
    Inventors: Jaideep Chandrashekar, Eve M. Schooler, Nina Taft, Frederic Giroire

  • Method and system for identifying optimal mapping in a network
    Patent number: 7453824
    Abstract: A method and system for identifying optimal mapping of logical links to the physical topology of a network is provided. Upon obtaining one or more mapping options for mapping multiple logical links between two or more pairs of network nodes onto physical paths that are as at least relatively disjoint and a priority order of the network node pairs, the mapping options are correlated with the priority order of the network nodes to identify optimal mapping of logical links to the physical topology of a network.

  • Method and system for correlating practical constraints in a network
    Patent number: 7394760
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying optimal mapping of logical links to the physical topology of a network is provided. Upon obtaining one or more mapping options for mapping multiple logical links between one or more pairs of network nodes onto physical paths that are at least relatively disjoint and obtaining a maximum time delay allowed between the each pair of network nodes, the mapping options are correlated with the maximum time delay to identify optimal mapping of logical links to the physical topology of a network.
