Abstract: A method of monitoring traffic by a router acting as a gateway between a first and second network is described. The router can receive data packets sent from the first device over the TCP connection and can send a TCP ACK packet to the first device in response to each data packet. The data packets can be stored without sending them to the second device. The stored data packets can be examined in order to determine whether to block or allow the TCP connection. In the event that it is determined to allow the TCP connection, the router can send each of the stored data packets to the second device. In the event that it is determined to block the TCP connection, the router can send a TCP RST message to each of the first and second devices in order to close the TCP connection.

Abstract: A system and method of monitoring the health of a person. The system comprises at least one sensor capable of measuring at least one physiological signal generated by the autonomic nervous system of the person for providing measurement data, and a data processing system which is configured to store a reference indicator, to receive measurement data from the sensor during a plurality of consecutive health-maintenance sessions in order to collect a plurality of measurement data sets corresponding to said health-maintenance sessions, to determine at last one health indicator based on the measurement data sets, said at least one health indicator being sensitive to physiological state of or changes in the autonomic nervous system, and to compare the at least one health indicator with said reference indicator. Objective information on autonomic nervous system related dysfunctions is retrieved which allows for systematic treatment to the person.

Abstract: A method of monitoring traffic, the method being carried out by a router acting as a gateway between a first and second network, the method comprising: after establishment of a TCP connection between a first device on the first network and a second device on the second network: receiving a plurality of data packets sent from the first device over the TCP connection; sending a TCP ACK packet to the first device in response to each data packet of the plurality of data packets; storing said data packets without sending them to the second device; examining at least part of the plurality of the stored data packets in order to determine whether to block or allow the TCP connection; in the event that it is determined to allow the TCP connection: sending each of the stored data packets to the second device; in the event that it is determined to block the TCP connection: sending a TCP RST message to each of the first and second devices in order to close the TCP connection.
