Abstract: Various methods for generating a content corpus populated with content related to a particular geographic area are provided herein. One example method comprises, for each document in an initial local content corpus, applying a first set of heuristic filters to the raw content of each document, identifying at least a second term, applying a second set of heuristic filters to the raw content of each document, the second set of heuristic filters associated with the second term, iteratively performing the identification of additional terms and application of an additional set of heuristic filters associated with the additional terms until each identifiable term is extracted, determining a level on a geographic containment hierarchy indicative of a location to which each document from the set of documents is local, and for each place in a gazette, and for each document, determining a set of place in a gazette, and for each document, determining a set of points in polygons indicative of its locality.

Abstract: Systems and methods for network service path analysis analyze and manage the delivery of applications over a network. A program running on a computer utilizes a Layer 3 topology of a computer network to create a directed graph representing deliverability of packets across the network. By analyzing access control lists and firewall rule sets from the network, along with modeling routing protocol behavior and policy as packet filters, the program performs a series of matrix multiplications, using an optimized decomposition of the IP packet space. The resulting matrix contains all of the path information for all deliverable packets. The matrix populates a network path database that captures the set of packets deliverable between any pair of Internet Protocol addresses in the network.
