A method and apparatus for inferring if an IP address allocation in a remote network is static or dynamic are disclosed. For example, the method contacts at least one remote peer to peer endpoint using a peer to peer application to obtain an IP address of the at least one remote peer to peer endpoint. The method then analyzes characteristics of the at least one remote peer to peer endpoint over a predefined period of time to infer whether the presence of static IP address allocation exists for the at least one remote peer to peer endpoint.

A method and system for detecting the transmission of preidentified content, such as copyrighted material, over an Internet Service Provider (ISP) network. A set of rules is provided to identify one or more traffic flow profiles of data streams transmitting preidentified content. Preferably the rules are adaptively created through analysis of actual ISP data in conjunction with data suggesting an initial set of profile characteristics. The rules are applied to data streams being transmitted in the ISP network, so that data streams fitting one or more of the profiles are identified. A database contains, e.g., as digital signatures or fingerprints, one or more items of content whose transmission is sought to be detected. Data streams identified as matching a profile are analyzed to determine if their content matches an item of content in the database, and if so, an action is taken which may include interrupting the transmission, suspending an ISP account, or reporting the transmission. An ISP with a system performing this method may offer services to content providers, and a plurality of ISPs may jointly use a single database of preidentified content to be compared to each ISP's identified data streams.

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatus for detecting a tethering function being performed by an endpoint device in a communications network are disclosed. For example, the method analyzes a data packet directed towards the endpoint device, detects a signature based upon analyzing the data packet, and identifies the endpoint device as performing the tethering function based upon detecting the signature.

摘要:
A network includes a cache server and a network aware server that operates to determine an optimization between a cost of retrieving content from a communication network and a cost of caching content at the cache server. The optimization is determined as a minimum of a sum of a transit cost, a backbone cost, and a caching cost. The transit cost includes a money cost per data unit. The backbone cost includes a money cost per data unit and time unit. The caching cost includes a money cost per server unit. In response to determining the optimization, the network aware server sends a content identifier to the cache server, and the cache server receives the content identifier, determines a source of a content item, and if the source is the same as the content identifier, then cache the content item.

A method of assigning a server to a client system includes determining an ingress point of the client system and identifying possible egress points for the client system. The method further includes selecting the server from a plurality of servers to reduce network cost and delivery time.

摘要:
An Internet service provider includes a cache server and a network aware server. The network aware server is operable to determine an optimization between a cost of retrieving content from a network and a cost of caching content from the network at the first cache server and then send a content identifier to the cache server. The cache server is operable to receive the content identifier, and determine the source of a content item. If the source is the same as the content identifier, then the cache server caches the content item.
