A method is provided for replacing an existing service pipe carrying fluid to an outlet within a property with a replacement service pipe. In the method the outlet is disconnected within the property from the existing service pipe in such a way that both during and after disconnection fluid is prevented from escaping into the property. A desired length of replacement service pipe is then fed into the existing service pipe in such a way that during and after the feeding step fluid is prevented from escaping into the property. The outlet is then connected to the outlet end of the replacement pipe in such a way that during the connection fluid is prevented from escaping into the property and after the connection step fluid is allowed to pass to the outlet solely by way of the replacement pipe.

A system and method that accepts material from the Internet, computes and maintains a computationally unique representation of the received material in a database, computes a computationally unique representation of the updated database state as a whole, publishes material and database representations in various forms for the global Internet audience to witness, and returns a time stamped attestation to the submitter of material as proof of the material being witnessed on the Internet along with unique database state and revenue generating advertisements. Published representations may include pictures, common words, or hexadecimal character string to facilitate Internet searching mechanisms.

An architecture that can provide for improved network content filtering is described herein. In particular, access to remote resources can be controlled by a remote mechanism. In accordance therewith, a gateway can seamlessly and/or transparently redirect packets from a client that are meant for an intended destination to an access control component. The access control component can determine whether the client has access to the resources requested. In addition, the gateway can provide IPSec features on behalf to the client.

A method and system for providing on-line game competition are provided. Players select their favorite teams, join with other fans of the team, and compete against players on the opposite team. Teams compete against each other in matches, where matches are based on schedules of real-life events, such as sports schedules or entertainment schedules. Players are grouped with other players associated with their favorite teams, and matches are organized. Various trivia questions may be presented, and players have a predetermined period of time to answer the questions. Points may be awarded based on a player's success in competition and the overall teams success in matches. Further, prizes are awarded based on points received by a player.

A domain name server assists user's in selecting desired domains in the Internet. A domain name query is sent from a resolver process, or equivalent process, when the user (or a process on the user's computer) wishes to obtain information. If the domain name exists, the domain name server provides the corresponding machine address back to the user's computer. However, when the domain name query uses a non-existent domain name then a machine address for a computer that executes a domain recommendation engine is returned instead of a machine address associated with the invalid domain. The domain recommendation engine assists the user (or process on the user's computer) in locating a desired domain name. The domain name recommendation engine can take into account numerous factors that assist in determining the intended domain, including common misspellings, phonetic errors, sub-domain errors, past statistics on website accessing by the present user and prior users. Auxiliary information is provided to the user along with information to assist in locating the intended domain. The auxiliary information can include sponsorship information, referrals, advertisements, educational or other information. The auxiliary information can be in the form of image, audio, database of other types of information.

A Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) key material publication system that converts cryptographic material extracted from digitally signed and validated S/MIME messages it receives into key material formats suitable for populating email address books. Publication of the address book contents both internal and external to an organization is done using the standard address book lightweight database access protocol (LDAP). The wide availability and coordination of such automated address books distributing key material across the Internet allows the large installed base of S/MIME email clients to immediately send secure encrypted email across organizational boundaries. The system serves the role of public key server thus removing a barrier to ubiquitous secure encrypted email by simplifying global key management.

A system that translates between Internet of Things (IoT) protocols and Internet name management protocols (domain name system—DNS) so as to allow the secure exchange of short messages through WiFi hotspots. Applications include but are not limited to remote configuration, control, tracking, telemetry, synchronization, emergency communication. The system is operated as an independent service or is integrated into hotspot or IoT management operations for public use or private use in an enterprise or home. The widespread installed base of hotspots, standardized IoT and DNS protocols allows the IoT ecosystem as a whole to immediately reap the benefits of greater communication capabilities.

A system that converts standardized lightweight database access protocol (LDAP) requests into a series of domain name system (DNS) requests to look up requested information. DNS responses are validated using DNS security extensions (DNSSEC) to ensure their validity, then converted into standardized LDAP responses. The system is either operated as a service for public use on the Internet or private use in an enterprise; or as an application running on end user machines, e.g., laptops, mobile phones, to guarantee end-to-end security by validating responses on the end user machine. The standardized, widespread nature of the LDAP allows existing applications to immediately reap the benefits of global, ubiquitous, cross-organizational, trans-national data distribution via DNS secured by DNSSEC.

A method and system for identifying the health of virtual routers is provided. First information from a first and second router of a virtual router is obtained. The first information is used to determine the health of the virtual router. A topology of the network is produced identifying the health of the virtual router.
