摘要： Advertisements are dynamically selected for incorporation into programs utilizing information about available spots and demographics associated with a program. An individual consumer may view or hear advertisements which have been incorporated into the program. The consumer can rate the advertisements and/or programs, and the information is tracked, possibly modifying the way advertisements are selected in the future. Advertisers may be given the opportunity to bid for advertising rights for particular demographic categories of consumers watching particular programs.

摘要： A method of operating a data network may include establishing a data path through the data network between a routing gateway for a subscriber of the data network and a service provider providing a data service. Moreover, the data service may be provided for use at the routing gateway over the data path during a data session. A request may be received from the service provider wherein the request defines a data flow characteristic for the data path between the routing gateway and the service provider providing the data service during the data session. The data flow characteristic may then be transmitted to a node along the data path between the routing gateway and the service provider for enforcement of the data flow characteristic for the data path at the node. More particularly, the data session may be a point-to-point protocol data session. Related methods, data networks, data service providers, routing gateways, and computer program products are also discussed.

摘要： Bandwidth and/or Quality of Service (QoS) may be modified in a Regional/Access Network (RAN) that includes a core network, the RAN facilitating differentiated end-to-end data transport between an enterprise, a Network Service Provider (NSP), and/or an Application Service Provider (ASP) and a customer Premises Network (CPN). Application Programming Interface (API) calls are used at the enterprise, NSP, and/or the ASP to communicate with the RAN to query a resource allocation in the core network that is assigned to the enterprise, NSP, and/or the ASP. API calls are also used at the enterprise, NSP, and/or the ASP to communicate with the RAN to modify the bandwidth and/or the QoS of the resource allocation in the core network that is assigned to the enterprise, NSP, and/or the ASP.

摘要： Data architectures provide for managing Quality of Service (QoS) and/or bandwidth allocation in a Regional/Access Network (RAN) that provides end-to-end transport between a Network Service Provider (NSP) and/or an Application Service Provider (ASP), and a Customer Premises Network (CPN) that includes a Routing Gateway (RG). The data architecture includes a NSP access session record maintained at the RAN that defines QoS and/or bandwidth allocation for an access session, such as a Point-to-Point (PPP) access session, associated with the RG and the NSP. A corresponding NSP access session record is maintained at the NSP associated with the access session. The NSP access session record at the RAN and the corresponding NSP access session record at the NSP both define a QoS and/or bandwidth allocation specified by the NSP associated with the session or both define a QoS and/or bandwidth allocation specified by the RAN. An application flow record maintained at the RAN defines QoS and/or bandwidth allocation for an application flow associated with the RG and the ASP. A corresponding application flow record is maintained at the ASP associated with the application flow. Both the application flow record at the RAN and the corresponding application flow record at the ASP define a QoS and/or bandwidth allocation specified by the ASP.

摘要： A Regional/Access Network (RAN) receives an application flow control request from a Network Service Provider (NSP) and/or an Application Service Provider (ASP). The application flow control request includes a request to determine bandwidth and/or QoS associated with a subscriber ID. The bandwidth and/or QoS associated with the subscriber ID is determined, and is sent from the RAN to the NSP and/or the ASP.

摘要： A trust evaluation may be obtained for a network element in a communication network. Based on this trust evaluation, one or more services may be invoked to address the risk that a potentially untrustworthy network element poses in the communication network. Application programming interfaces (APIs) may automate the invocation of trust-controlled services, such as a traffic mirroring service for a network element, a traffic monitoring service for a network element, a traffic examination service for traffic associated with a network element, a traffic blocking service for traffic associated with a network element, a traffic storage service for traffic associated with a network element, a traffic logging service for traffic associated with a network element, an endpoint resource selection service for traffic associated with a network element, a midpoint selection service for traffic associated with a network element, a tunneling service for traffic associated with a network element, and/or an application management service for a network element. An API for a trust-controlled service may be used to directly perform a function on one or more resources in the communication network or may be used to set up an ongoing function on one or more resources in the communication network that may continue until the API is used to terminate the function.

摘要： Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for detecting encrypted Internet Protocol packet streams. An encrypted stream of packets is received, with the encryption obscuring the type of data within the stream of packets. The type of data contained within the encrypted stream of packets is inferred using at least one of i) a set of variables comprising at least one of an observable parameter, a threshold value, a range of values, a timer, and an algorithm, and ii) multiple processes. Varying the selection of the variables thwarts hacking attempts, and the multiple processes enhance effectiveness and reliability.

摘要： Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for specifying a signature for an encrypted packet stream. One method receives the encrypted stream of packets, and encryption obscures the contents of a packet. A signature for insertion into the stream of packets is specified, and the signature identifies a type of data encrypted within the stream of packets. The signature identifies the contents of the packet despite the encryption obscuring the contents.
