  • Publication number: 20230284252
    Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards facilitating the creation of network sub-slices within a network slice. When a network slice having defined default specification data (e.g., quality of service and prioritization levels) is instantiated, resources of the network slice can be allocated to network sub-slices within the network slice. A network sub-slice has modified specification data relative to the default specification data. Upon connection of a mobile device to the network, if the mobile device is part of a group associated with a network slice and sub-slice, the mobile device traffic is handled based on its network slice default specification data as modified by the modified sub-slice specification data. Network sub-slices thus provide a way for variations within the parameter data of a network slice, without the overhead and need to instantiate a separate network slice for each variation needed by subscribing entities.

  • Publication number: 20230269655
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards network slicing for private cellular networks (PCNs). Network slicing can be leveraged as described herein to meet security requirements and/or other policies applicable to PCNs. Network slices implemented according to this disclosure can comprise a private network slice, a public network slice, and a public safety network slice. User equipment can be provisioned with slice identifiers for the network slices, and applications at the user equipment can specify an appropriate slice identifier for their network communications. Network equipment can be configured to route application traffic to a specified slice and to allocate network resources according to the specified slice, as well as to implement security and other policies according to the specified slice.

  • Patent number: 8291505
    Abstract: Computer data containing compressed video data is examined to see if it is banned computer data, for example containing pirate or copyright-infringing video material, by examining the identifier of the video codec associated with the compressed video data. Certain video codec identifiers are highly correlated with the computer data concerned being banned computer data. Thus, an examination of the header file of the computer data may be used as an efficient and sensitive tool for identifying the computer data as banned computer data.

  • Patent number: 7673342
    Abstract: An e-mail client serves to detect mass mailing malware by detecting if over a threshold number of addressees from within the address book of that e-mail client are being sent an e-mail or over a predetermined number of substantially identical e-mails are being sent by that e-mail client. A quarantine queue may be provided in which e-mail messages are held for a predetermined period prior to being sent out in order that separate e-mail messages being sent to a large proportion of the address book addressees may be identified and linked together.

  • Patent number: 7376842
    Abstract: A malware scanner for DIME messages reads the file type associated with each data record within the DIME message to determine whether or not the payload data of that data record requires scanning.
