Abstract: One example method of limiting transmission of data involves generating an Internet datagram that includes digital content and an Internet protocol (IP) header. It is determined whether the digital content comprises localized data that may be transmitted to other devices within a network boundary. If the digital content comprises localized data, a time to live (TTL) parameter of the IP header of the Internet datagram is set to a value that represents a number of times the digital content may be transmitted within the network boundary, with the value being less than or equal to five. After the TTL parameter is set to a value less than or equal to five, the Internet datagram is transmitted. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for limiting transmission of data to a localized area in a networked environment. A method according to one embodiment includes receiving a request to transmit data from a source device to a sink device. If the data to be transmitted is localized data, a hop value associated with the data is set to a first predetermined value. If the data to be transmitted is not localized data, a hop value associated with the data is set to a second predetermined value.

If the data to be transmitted is localized data, a time to live value associated with the data is set to a first predetermined value. If the data to be transmitted is not localized data, a time to live value associated with the data is set to a second predetermined value. The data is transmitted toward the sink device. If the transmitted data is routed through the Internet, the time to live value associated with the transmitted data is decremented every time the data passes through an IP router. If the time to live value reaches zero, the transmitted data is destroyed.
