    摘要: The real time availability of a group of network elements is determined based upon both a real time availability value for each of the network elements and cooperation relationships between the network elements. The cooperation relationships reflect both the topological relationships between the network elements, i.e., how the network elements are connected, and the extent to which network elements interact with each other effectively. For relatively small groups of network elements, where the cooperation relationships are not overly complex, the real time availability is determined directly from the real time availability value for each of the network elements and cooperation relationships between the network elements. Decomposition and recombination are used to determine the real time availability of large groups of network elements based on specific formulas for basic network element topology models.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for a method for measuring the availability of a network element or service. For each network element N, a current real availability value CRAVN and a current time value CTVN are associated with network element N. Additionally, for each network element N, an operational state value OSVN is associated with network element N. At a later time, indicated by a new time value NTVN, a new real availability value NRAVN for network element N is determined based on the current availability value CRAVN, the current time value CTVN, the new time value NTVN, and the operational state value OSVN. The new real availability value NRAVN is stored. Thus, each separate network element N may be associated with a separate real availability value that accurately reflects the availability of network element N specifically, regardless of any availability approximated for network element N's type.

    摘要: An isolation approach for network users associated with elevated risk is disclosed for protecting networks. In one approach a method comprises the computer-implemented steps of determining a user identifier associated with a network device that has caused a security event in a network; causing the network device to receive a network address that is selected from a subset of addresses within a specified pool associated with suspected malicious network users; and configuring one or more security restrictions with respect to the selected network address.

    摘要: A method of determining an amount of bandwidth needed on a communication link is disclosed. According to one aspect of the method, instead of considering only user behavior or only traffic characteristics, the amount of bandwidth needed on the link is determined based on both user behavior and traffic characteristics. The determined amount is stored in memory. By accounting for both user behavior and traffic characteristics, the method determines the amount of bandwidth needed on a communication link more accurately.
