Method, system and program product for managing custom data during an electronic purchase. Custom data is displayed and/or obtained using a custom data form. The custom data form is displayed when one or more attributes of items in the electronic purchase match the set of keys defined for the custom data form. Custom data obtained using the custom data form can be stored as a large object in a database.

In one embodiment, each node in a computer network determines a shortest looping ring back to the node through each of its neighbors. Each of these rings may then be marked in a particular direction, ensuring that any ring that shares a link with another ring is marked in such a way that the shared link is in the same direction in each of the rings that share the link. The links that are marked in the particular direction may be stored as part of a first topology. Conversely, the opposite direction on the links (e.g., bidirectional links or parallel unidirectional links) may be stored as a second topology that is link-disjoint from the first topology.

In one embodiment, information is signaled between aggregating routers indicating the components of aggregated addresses. This information is used to dynamically leak, or deaggregate, specific parts of the aggregated address space to reduce sub-optimal routing and possibly prevent routing black holes from occurring in a network.

A pedometer system and method of use are disclosed that assist a user in monitoring an athletic endeavor. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a pedometer housing component at least partially defining an enclosure. A local area wireless transceiver capable of receiving a signal from a motion sensor may be located within the enclosure. A performance engine may also be located within the enclosure and may be communicatively coupled to the local area wireless transceiver. In operation, the performance engine may utilize the signal from the motion sensor to generate a performance metric like average speed or distance traveled. The system may also include an output mechanism such as an audio device capable of presenting the performance metric to a user in an audible message. A device embodying the performance engine may also embody an audio file player such as an MP3 player.

A system and method are disclosed for utilizing a bicycle computer to monitor athletic performance. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a housing component at least partially defining an enclosure. A local area wireless transceiver capable of receiving a signal from a sensor coupled to a bicycle may be located within the enclosure. A performance engine may also be located within the enclosure and may be communicatively coupled to the local area wireless transceiver. In operation, the performance engine may utilize the signal from the sensor to generate a performance metric like current speed, distance traveled, or cadence. The system may also include an output mechanism such as a display device associated with the housing component. The output mechanism or display device may be capable of presenting the performance metric to a user. In preferred embodiments, the system may also include a wide area wireless transceiver located within the enclosure. This wide area wireless transceiver may allow the user to send and receive information across a geographically disperse network such as a cellular telephone network.

Method, system and program product for managing items available for electronic purchase. One or more high frequency items can be displayed on a high level page. The items can be located for display by automatically generating a query for each level of a hierarchical structure in which the items are stored. Additionally, one or more high frequency items can be presented to an administrator for a group of users who can select one or more of the high frequency items for display on a high level page presented to each user in the group of users.

An audio system and method are disclosed. A system incorporating teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, an electronic device having a display, a memory, an audio file player, and a housing component at least partially defining a cavity in which the memory and the audio file player are secured. In one embodiment, the electronic device may be a portable MP3 player. The system may also include a processor or playlist engine that can maintain a first playlist and a second playlist. In practice, the first playlist may include a selection of audio content having a corresponding audio file saved in the memory of the electronic device. In one embodiment, the system may also include an automobile having an automobile sound system that has a speaker and an in dash sound system component, which may be removably coupled to the electronic device via a cable. The in dash sound system component may have a selector, which may be, for example, a button, that allows a user to select the first playlist for outputting via the speaker. The cable interconnecting the electronic device and the in dash sound system component may be capable of providing power to the electronic device in addition to communicatively coupling the electronic device to the automobile sound system.

A method of processing both two-octet and four-octet autonomous system (AS) identifier values in a first network node that communicates with peer network nodes using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), comprises receiving a first route message from a BGP peer node that is outside a local autonomous system that includes the first network node, wherein the BGP peer node can process only two-octet AS identifier values; identifying one or more extended community attributes in a route in the received route update message; for each of the identified extended community attributes, modifying the received route by creating an AS set containing four-octet AS identifier values carried in the identified extended community attributes, and attaching the AS set to the received route; and sending the modified received route to a third BGP node.
