Abstract:
A method and a system perform geolocation activities relating to a network address. A database of network addresses, and associated geographic locations, is maintained. A query, including a network address, is received against the database for a geographic location associated with the network address. Information, concerning the query received against the database, is logged. Geolocation activities relating to at least the network address are modified based on the logged information.

US Classification:
709219, 709203, 707 10, 707200
Abstract:
A method and the system perform geolocation activities relating to a network address. A query, including a network address, is received from an external entity at a geolocation system. Responsive to receipt of the query, geolocation activities are initiated at the geolocation system to map the network address to a geographic location.

International Classification:
G06F015/16 G06F015/173
US Classification:
709/245000, 709/224000
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus operates to associate a geographic location associated with a network address. At least one data collection operation is performed to obtain information pertaining to a network address. The retrieved information is processed to identify a plurality of geographic locations potentially associated with the network address, and to attach a confidence factor to each of the plurality of geographic locations. An estimated geographic location is selected from the plurality of geographic locations as being a best estimate of a true geographic location of the network address, where the selection of the estimated geographic location is based upon a degree of confidence-factor weighted agreement within the plurality of geographic locations.
Method And System To Associate A Geographic Location Information With A Network Address Using A Combination Of Automated And Manual Process

International Classification:
G06F015/16
US Classification:
709/245000, 709/219000
Abstract:
A method and a system map a geographic location to a network address. At least one automated process is performed to identify a geographic location for the network address. A determination is made whether the automated process provided satisfactory geographic location information for the network address. If the automated process did not provided satisfactory geographic location information for the network address, then the network address is forwarded for manual resolution.
Intrusion Detection System/Intrusion Prevention System With Enhanced Performance
Brad Doctor - Golden CO, US James Brown - Aurora CO, US
International Classification:
G06F 21/00
US Classification:
726 23
Abstract:
A traffic inspection and filtering system () monitors traffic across a protected interface. In the case of monitoring incoming traffic, the incoming packets () are directed via a mandatory path () to a packet capture process () associated with a kernel () of an operating system. The packets are then stored in shared memory () of the kernel () for access by a user space application () that makes a filtering decision without requiring copying of the packet to user space and back.
