摘要:
A system and computer program product for monitoring and optimizing performance and availability of a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service are provided by one or a plurality of DHCP servers in an Internet Protocol (IP) network comprising one or a plurality of IP subnetworks. The system implemented in hardware, comprises a computer infrastructure operable to define one or a plurality of groups of subnetworks, each group of subnetworks comprising one or a plurality of subnetworks. The computer infrastructure is further operable to retrieve information related to resources, in particular IP addresses, allocated within a DHCP server to each group of subnetworks. The computer infrastructure is further operable to transfer the information to a DHCP service monitoring system, the DHCP service monitoring system comprising means for retrieving the information from the one or a plurality of DHCP servers and means for aggregating the information for each group of subnetworks.
摘要:
The present invention relies on dynamic autoproxy configuration and more particularly to a method and system for selecting a Proxy/Socks Server according to some response time and availability criteria. It rests on a dynamic autoproxy mechanism using availability and response time probes. It relies on probes retrieving well known HTML pages through each Proxy/Socks Server, measuring associated response time, detecting Proxy/Socks failures and degradation of response time. It also uses a CGI (Common Gateway Interface) program for dynamically creating autoproxy code (in a preferred embodiment Javascript code) on an autoproxy URL (Universal resource locator) system for selecting said Proxy/Socks Server.
摘要:
A method and system for preventing unauthorized dynamic host configuration servers from responding to client configuration requests in an Internet Protocol (IP) network. In accordance with the method of the present invention multiple network clients are simulated within a server checker client. At least one unauthorized dynamic host configuration server is then detected utilizing the server checker client within said IP network. Upon detection of an unauthorized dynamic host configuration server, configuration requests are delivered from the server checker client to the detected unauthorized dynamic configuration server such that the unauthorized dynamic host configuration server is unable to respond to configuration requests from actual network clients.

A method and system for monitoring and optimizing performance and availability of a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service provided by one or a plurality of DHCP servers (602) in an Internet Protocol (IP) network comprising one or a plurality of IP subnetworks. The method comprises in a DHCP server (602) defining one or a plurality of groups of subnetworks, a group of subnetworks comprising one or a plurality of subnetworks; retrieving information related to resources, in particular IP addresses, allocated within said DHCP server to each group of subnetworks; transferring said information to a DHCP service monitoring system (600). The method comprises in a DHCP service monitoring system (403) retrieving (501 to 505) from one or a plurality of DHCP servers (401), information related to resources, in particular IP addresses, allocated within each DHCP server (401) to groups of subnetworks, each group of subnetworks comprising one or a pluarlity of subnetworks and aggregating (506 to 511) the information for each group of subnetworks.

摘要:
A method and system for enabling interconnection of VPNs is disclosed. An interconnection device manages an interconnection process at one or more facilities including, for example, a gateway device. The gateway device has information relating to a plurality of VPNs, and may facilitate interconnection between devices on at least two of the VPNs by determining that one device is in fact a member of a first one of the VPNs, and by forwarding connection parameters of the first VPN to the second VPN on an as-needed basis. In this way, the gateway allows interconnection without the need for a completely centralized decision-making process, and does so independently of the type of device and/or VPN(s) being used. Moreover, the gateway may implement only those VPN parameters needed by both VPNs to communicate with one another with a desired level of security, thereby simplifying the routing and forwarding processes associated with the actual communication occurring via the interconnection. The information related to the plurality of VPNs and their respective member devices may be stored in a mapping table at the gateway, and identification parameters of a device seeking interconnection and/or associated VPN parameters may be verified by the use of digital certificates.
摘要:
A method and system for managing data traffic between an intranet and the internet. The Intranet composed of client computers connected to a router system which bridges the connection to a plurality of proxy servers. The proxy servers act as a gateway to the internet and operate on a designated application level protocol. The router system redirecting packets based on application level protocols to the proxy servers while checking the destination proxy server with an authorized list. The router system blocking or transmitting based on the application level protocol and the authorized server.

Described is a system and method for receiving an electronic mail including an attachment file and separating the attachment file from the electronic mail. The attachment is then sent to a remote source and the attachment file is replaced with a substitute file including identifying data for retrieving the attachment file from the remote source. The electronic mail with the substitute file is then forwarded to a receiver.
摘要:
A method and system as disclosed for use in a virus-free certificate proxy (107, 801), of retrieving from one or a plurality of virus-free certificate authorities (104, 804) a virus-free certificate (200) certifying that a file is virus-free. The method includes the steps of: receiving (1001) virus-free certificate request for a file; selecting a virus-free certificate authority (104, 804) having authority to generate a virus-free certificate (200) for the file; requesting (1003 . . . 1007) the virus-free certificate to the selected virus-free certificate authority (104, 804); receiving (1003 . . . 1007) from the selected virus-free certificate authority the generated virus-free certificate; sending back (1005) in response to the virus-free certificate request the received virus-free certificate.
