  • Patent number: 9338128
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer readable media provide for automated control of the status of network address space. Blocks of networking address space assigned to a network may be allocated from a free status to a new status based upon a request to allocate a particular size block. Blocks of networking address space assigned to a network that have been allocated to a new status may be deallocated to return to a free status based upon a request to deallocate the chosen block. Blocks of networking address space assigned to a network that have been allocated and otherwise manipulated such as through a lend from another network may be reclaimed for the original network upon a request to reclaim the chosen block.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8650278
    Abstract: Technologies for generating displays of user-defined blocks of networking addresses on a map of an associated address space are provided. Each block of networking addresses is described in a user-defined table with a start address and a map size. The display for each block of network addresses may be rendered on the map at a location based on the relative position of the start address within the associated address space and of a size based on the mask size in relation to the associated address space.

  • Patent number: 7127505
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer readable media for generating displays of networking addresses with status indicators are provided. The display may provide a grid containing individually selectable grid spaces representing networking addresses of a set. The networking addresses of the set have at least one attribute and the value of the attribute is indicated in the display. The value of the attribute may be indicated by a color for the networking addresses of the set having the attribute. Furthermore, the networking addresses of a block may be represented by rectangles defining the blocks within the display. The display may provide additional features as well, such as the ability to zoom in and out and select areas within the displayed map through selection of the rectangles.
