US Classification:
726 23, 713153
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to methods of and systems for adaptive networking that monitors a network resource of a network. The method monitors an application performance. The method categorizes a first subset of traffic of the network. The categories for the first subset include trusted, known to be bad, and suspect. The method determines an action for a second subset of traffic based on the category for the first subset of traffic. Some embodiments provide a system for adaptive networking that includes a first device and traffic that has a first subset and a second subset. The system also includes a first resource and a second resource for the transmission of the traffic. The first device receives the traffic and categorizes the traffic into the first and second subsets. The first device assigns the first subset to the first resource. Some embodiments provide a network device that includes an input for receiving incoming traffic, an output for sending outgoing traffic, a categorization module that categorizes incoming traffic, and a resource assignment module that assigns the categorized traffic for a particular resource.

US Classification:
726 25, 726 22, 726 23
Abstract:
A method for a computer system includes receiving configuration data from a network device in a network, determining a topology for a portion of the network from the configuration data, wherein the topology indicates a server location and a threat server at a threat server location in the network, determining a vulnerability including vulnerability attributes for the first server location, and when configuration data for the first server location is incomplete, the method includes determining a security exposure of the first server location with respect to the threat server in response to the configuration data, the topology, and to the configuration data associated the host server location, determining a vulnerability certainty for the first server location with respect the vulnerability in response to the configuration data associated the host server location, and outputting a visual representation of the security exposure and the vulnerability certainty on a display.

Method And Apparatus For Assessing Policy Compliance Of As-Built Data Networks
US Patent:
8479257, Jul 2, 2013
Filed:
Aug 7, 2009
Appl. No.:

Assignee:
Redseal Networks, Inc. - San Mateo CA
International Classification:
G06F 17/00
US Classification:
726 1
Abstract:
An as-built network is evaluated by analyzing a model of the network by the steps of determining zones within the network, computing the access between zones, summarizing the access between zones to produce a dataset, then inputting a policy set comprising a collection of approvals, typically in the form of simple white-lists of approvals, then comparing the dataset and particularly the access between zones with the policy set of approvals (white-lists) to determine which access fall outside the approvals, and producing therefrom as an output to an end user a report of compliance and noncompliance, and then repeating the steps of determining, computing, and summarizing, and then the comparing step, after a period or after the network has changed. Thus a network operator or auditor can readily and interactively assess whether the infrastructure is in compliance with regulatory or other design requirements.

US Classification:
709201, 709223, 709224
Abstract:
The present invention provides embodiments of a network monitoring system that includes a scheduling agent for generating groupings of test agents and scheduling network measurements to be performed by each test agent grouping. The system may provide identifiers to members of first and second sets of objects. Then, the system can generate first and second sequences of the identifiers for each of the first and second sets, respectively and associate the identifiers to provide a plurality of groupings of identifiers. Finally the system may schedule a corresponding event for each of the grouping of identifiers. The systems and methods present can require very little state memory, ensure fair coverage of the object groupings; and can avoid the problems associated with round robin scheduling.

Abstract:
Methods, computer code, and means are described that can control load in a network. In some applications, the monetary cost of operating the network can be reduced. Utilization of links in the network can be monitored. A degree of suboptimality with respect to some criteria can be assessed. In some instances, the criteria could be based at least partly one or more monetary billing structures of some subset of two or more links. A subset of the forwarding decisions of one or more forwarding nodes in the network can be adjusted automatically, based at least partly on the assessing. The adjustment can attempt to reduce the degree of suboptimality.
