  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING AND ELIMINATING IP SPOOFING IN A DATA TRANSMISSION NETWORK
    Publication number: 20090288156
    Abstract: A traffic management system sniffs data arriving at any point in a system. The sniffer operates to extract certain data from each address. This data could be, for example, the IP address data and the physical address data. The extracted data is then used to access different data bases to determine if matches occur. Time stamps, sequencing and other parameters of each piece of data entering a system are used to control data access.
    Type: Application

  • Intelligent feedback loop process control system
    Patent number: 7058976
    Abstract: There is disclosed a system and method for detecting attacks on a site in a communication network and for taking action to reduce or redirect such attacks. A monitor system reviews incoming data packets and sends directions to at least one router to change the data flow in the system. The directions may be sent to other routers. The data packets and the resulting work flow are modified for certain conditions, and for certain conditions within defined time slices, and action is taken when the monitored condition is contrary to expected conditions.

  • System and method for traffic management control in a data transmission network
    Patent number: 6930978
    Abstract: A traffic management system sniffs data arriving at any point in a system. The sniffer operates to remember certain parameters pertaining to the data. When the amount of data arriving at the point begins to reach a critical level (usually dependent upon data processing capability associated with that point), the system begins to remove (and share) subsequent arriving data based, in part, upon the remembered parameters of recently received data. Data that is stored is returned to the system when the critical threshold recedes.
