In computer networking, a hostname (archaically nodename) is a label that is assigned to a device connected to a computer network and that is used to identify the device in various forms of electronic communication, such as the World Wide Web. Hostnames may be simple names consisting of a single word or phrase, or they may be structured.
System and method of optimizing retrieval of network resources by identifying and substituting embedded symbolic host name references with network addresses in accordance with substitution policies
InactiveUS7082476B1Reduce in quantityEasy accessMultiple digital computer combinationsTransmissionCache serverNetwork addressing
A method and apparatus are provided for optimizing retrieval of network resources. In one embodiment, a method of optimizing access to a network resource is implemented in a computer program executed by a router, cache server, or proxy server. A network resource that contains one or more embedded symbolic host name references is received. A network address corresponding to each of the embedded symbolic host name references is determined. A modified copy of the network resource is created and stored; in the modified copy, a network address is substituted for each corresponding embedded symbolic host name reference. Thereafter, the modified copy of the network resource in responding to all subsequent client requests for the network resource, thereby greatly reducing the required number of network address lookup operations. In one specific embodiment, IP addresses are determined using DNS queries for the hostname portion of all URLs that are embedded in a Web page using image, applet, object, or embed tags. The IP addresses are stored in place of the hostname portions in a modified copy of the Web page, typically in a cache. As a result, when the modified page is subsequently served to clients, the clients need not carry out DNS resolution of all the embedded URLs, resulting in reduced network message traffic and more rapid page display.

Discrete Mapping for Targeted Caching
Some embodiments provide systems and methods for implementing discrete mapping for targeted caching in a carrier network. In some embodiments, discrete mapping is implemented using a method that caches content from a content provider to a caching server. The method modifies a DNS entry at a particular DNS server to resolve a request that identifies either a hostname or a domain for the content provider to an address of the caching server so that the requested content is passed from the cached content of the caching server and not the source content provider. In some embodiments, the particular DNS server is a recursive DNS server, a local DNS server of the carrier network, or a DNS server that is not authoritative for the hostname or domain of the content provider.

Using virtual domain name service (DNS) zones for enterprise content delivery
InactiveUS20090119397A1Easy to integrateMinimal reconfigurationMultiple digital computer combinationsResourcesDomain nameThird party
A domain to be published to an enterprise ECDN is associated (either by static configuration or dynamically) with a set of one or more enterprise zones configurable in a hierarchy. When a DNS query arrives for a hostname known to be associated with given content within the control of the ECDN, a DNS server preferably responds in one of three (3) ways: (a) handing back an IP address, e.g., for an ECDN intelligent node that knows how to obtain the requested content from a surrogate or origin server; (b) executing a zone referral to a next (lower) level name server in a zone hierarchy, or (c) CNAMing to another hostname, thereby essentially restarting the lookup procedure. In the latter case, this new CNAME causes the resolution process to start back at the root and resolve a new path, probably along a different path in the hierarchy. At any particular level in the zone hierarchy, preferably there is an associated zone server. That server preferably executes logic that applies the requested hostname against a map, which, using known techniques, may be generated from given (static, dynamic, internally-generated or third party-sourced) performance metrics. Thus, a given name query to ECDN-managed content may be serviced in coordination with various sources of distributed network intelligence. As a result, the invention provides for a distributed, dynamic globally load balanced name service.

This disclosure relates to enhanced overlay network-based transport of traffic to and from customer branch office locations, facilitated through the use of the Internet-based overlay routing. A method of selecting an ingress edge region of the overlay network begins by mapping a service hostname to an IKEv2 destination of an outer IPsec tunnel associated with a first overlay network edge. An IKEv2 session is established from the first overlay network edge to the customer router. Upon tunnel establishment, a secondary lookup is performed to determine whether the first overlay network edge is an appropriate ingress region. Based on a response to the secondary lookup, a IKEv2 redirect is issued to a second overlay network edge. A new tunnel is then established from the second overlay network edge to the customer router. Thereafter, an additional lookup may also be performed to determine whether the second overlay network edge remains an appropriate ingress region.

Method to import/export or detach/attach a file to/from a remote mail server
InactiveUS7133897B1User identity/authority verificationMultiple digital computer combinationsPasswordUser input
A computer-implemented method for importing / attaching or exporting / detaching a file during a given e-mail operation. From a user's perspective, the method begins when the user elects to perform the import / attach or export / detach function with respect to a given file. If the file resides locally, the operation proceeds as usual by carrying out the function as if the file is on the local system and resides in a known place. If, however, the file does not reside locally, a panel or other user interface is displayed. Using this panel, the user may then attempt to log into a remote system on which the file is supported. Thus, for example, the user interface may require the user to enter a userid, password, hostname, or some combination thereof. If the user login is successful, the routine gets or puts the file (e.g., using an FTP operation) as required, preferably as a background process. Upon completion of the file transfer, the routine then automatically completes the import / attach or export / detach function as if the file is on the local system and resides in the known location.

System and method for ranking logical directories
InactiveUS20050256887A1Reduce computationReduce the amount of dataData processing applicationsWeb data indexingGranularityPaper document
A logical directory ranking system ranks documents or web pages utilizing logical directories. From the hierarchical structure represented in a URL string, URLs can often be grouped into “compound documents” that represent a single unit of information. Such compound documents tend to comprise URLs that agree up to a last delimiter such as a forward slash ( / ). The present system groups together compound documents as a single information node with one or more leaves, constructing a logical directory graph. URLs can be grouped at a level of granularity below an individual directory. For example, the URLs may be grouped together on the basis of hostname, domain, or any level of the hierarchy of the URLs. Edges in the logical directory graph are formed by links between the logical directories. Edges have weights corresponding to the number of links between logical directories. Nodes have weights corresponding to the number of web pages or leaves represented by a node. A ranking level is determined for each node as a function of the node weight and the edge weight. The ranking level is then applied to each URL that the node represents.
