  • Patent number: 9009304
    Abstract: The embodiments provide for analyzing activity of devices in a network. Activity from a device may result from multiple devices translated to a common address, such as a public internet protocol (IP) address. In some embodiments, the activity from a network or device is analyzed to identify if multiple devices communicate via translated addresses from the common address. The devices may be identified based on various criteria, such as a unique identifier, protocol header information, or a media access control (or “MAC”) address. Other criteria may also be employed. Each device that is mapped to common address is then remapped so that each device has its own address. The activity data is then modified so that each device is correlated with its unique address. Alternatively, a new activity data file may be generated so that the activity of each device is indicated.

  • Patent number: 8195736
    Abstract: A method for remapping a Media Access Control (MAC) address mapped to a virtual IP address. The method includes examining an activity data file to identify the virtual IP address mapped to the MAC address and remapping the identified MAC address to an IP address. The virtual IP address may be identified utilizing a criteria, such as by determining that the virtual IP address may have two or more mapped MAC addresses. Other criteria may also be suitably employed. A portion of the IP address may be automatically generated. A user may be queried to confirm the generated portion of the IP address. The portion of the IP address may be determined based on prior user entrance of an IP address. The portion of the IP address may be predetermined by a user assigning a naming convention.
