  • Hardware-based detection and containment of an infected host computing device
    Patent number: 8220049
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses enable a traffic analyzer to monitor an internal connection of a computing system for one or more traffic patterns. The traffic analyzer compares traffic on the internal connection to an expected traffic pattern, and performs a policy based action based on the result of comparing the traffic pattern to the expected pattern. The traffic analyzer can exist in a stack of a VMM or a monitoring VM or be implemented in a management engine of the computing system. In one embodiment, the computing system includes traffic analyzer components in both a VMM or monitoring VM and a management engine.
    Type: Grant

  • Directing a client computer to a least network latency server site
    Publication number: 20030217147
    Abstract: A method of determining network latency includes receiving a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) request at a first server site from a remote computer. The method further includes generating a timing Web page, which includes information regarding a plurality of server sites, at the first server site. The method further includes transmitting the timing Web page to the remote computer and determining a fastest site among the plurality of server sites.
