This patent details a lightweight stateless TCP server capable of servicing a high rate of requests.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERALIZED URL-REWRITING

This invention allows a network device (eg. router) to modify URLs embedded in HTML content for different purpose.

METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DIRECTING MESSAGES TO COMPUTER SYSTEMS BASED ON INSERTED DATA

A mechanism to allow switch or routers to load balance packets between computer systems based on extra data inserted in packets.

METHODS AND APPARATUS PROVIDING AUTOMATIC CLIENT AUTHENTICATION

This patent details a method for a intermediary device such as a router to automatically connect client browser (HTTP) to servers. The knowledge of the password is on the router and clients do not know or do not have to know the password.

This invention significantly reduce encryption and bandwidth requirements when multiple users of a Virtual Private Network are commonly receiving a broadcasted event such as a live stream.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CLIENT-SIDE FLOW CONTROL IN A TRANSPORT PROTOCOL

Describes a method for transmitting reliably data on a network with a lightweight client.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PREVENTING OPERATING SYSTEM DETECTION

This method makes the identification of a server’s operating system more difficult, preventing an attacker to take advantage of known flaws within the operating system.

METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING INFORMATION IN A NETWORK

This patent details a broadcasting/multicasting method.

PROVIDING IDENTITY TO A PORTAL WITH A REDIRECT

This invention allows a router and web portal the ability to identify a subscriber.

GROUPING MULTIPLE NETWORK ADDRESSES OF A SUBSCRIBER INTO A SINGLE COMMUNICATION SESSION

This allows a routing device to identify a subscriber that might use multiple IPv6 and/or IPv4 addresses.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VALIDATING VIDEO SECURITY INFORMATION

The proposed invention provides a unique method of “fingerprinting/watermarking” video images captured by video cameras such as security cameras. By inserting unique, time-referenced light sources into a capture environment insures that a video feed is indeed live and has not been tampered with.

MULTI-STACK SUBSCRIBER SIGN ON

This patent offers a system to identify a multi-stack subscriber (an IP subscriber using IPv4 and IPv6) using a web portal.
