Abstract: A technique to effect secure communications with a server application, such as server applications that are accessible on the Internet. In one embodiment, a client connection is detected at a first port. The client is provided with a decoy port number. A server provides services to the client on a second port that is mapped to the decoy port number.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system and method for message suppression. The system comprises a memory that is adapted to store a data element corresponding to a failure notification and to store a corresponding timestamp. Also included in the system is an interface adapted to receive the failure notification, create the corresponding timestamp, store the data element and the timestamp corresponding to the failure notification in the memory, send a message corresponding to the failure notification, suppress the sending of subsequent messages corresponding to the failure notification until a predetermined condition occurs, receive a notification to cancel the suppression of subsequent messages corresponding to the failure notification, and send subsequent messages corresponding to the failure notification in response to failure notifications received after the notification to cancel the suppression of subsequent messages.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system and method for monitoring a computer network that comprises a plurality of computers. The system may comprise a network monitor associated with each of the plurality of computers, the network monitor being adapted to monitor error data for a communication channel, compare the error data with at least one pattern corresponding to an associated problem, and provide notification of the associated performance problem if the error data corresponds to the at least one pattern.
