A search results page includes multiple search lists generated by multiple clustering operations applied to an initial match set of documents selected based on a user query. A first result list is constructed by clustering a top-n set of documents by primary domain address and sorting based on extrinsic ranking factors such that the first list includes a ranked and ordered list of primary domain linked anchor text. A second result list is constructed by clustering the top-n set of documents based on a unified ranked occurrence of keywords within the top-n set of documents. The generated second list contains a plurality of cluster class references with each of the cluster class reference including a ranked ordered sub-list of the keywords occurring within the top-n set of documents and respectively associated with the cluster class reference, each of the keywords of the ranked ordered sub-lists including linking references to a corresponding one of the top-n set of documents. A third result list is constructed by clustering the top-n set of documents based on a ranked frequency of occurrence of internally linked anchor texts. The generated third result list includes the top-n set of the internally linked anchor texts and respective ranked and ordered sub-lists of linking references to primary domain Web-pages containing the corresponding one of the internally linked anchor texts.

Computer processing method and apparatus for searching and retrieving Web pages to collect people and organization information are disclosed. A Web site of potential interest is accessed. A subset of Web pages from the accessed site are determined for processing. According to types of contents found on a subject Web page, extraction of people and organization information is enabled. Internal links of a Web site are collected and recorded in a links-to-visit table. To avoid duplicate processing of Web sites, unique identifiers or Web site signatures are utilized. Respective time thresholds (time-outs) for processing a Web site and for processing a Web page are employed. A database is maintained for storing indications of domain URLs, names of respective owners of the URLs as identified from the corresponding Web sites, type of each Web site, processing frequencies, dates of last processings, outcomes of last processings, size of each domain and number of data items found in the last processing of each Web site.

Methods and systems for maintaining high-availability in a computer network using intelligent failover are presented. In a network switch running an OSI model layer-2 or higher protocol on its external links, the protocol state information is monitored to determine failover status of the link to avoid identifying external link failures due to link flapping. One such protocol is the spanning tree protocol. Additionally, flexibility in failover is provided using configurable triggers to define external failure events. The triggers initiate a link drop of one or more internal links of the network switch in response to an external failure event. The link drops, in turn, initiate failover of an attached computing device to a redundant link through a network interface teaming/failover arrangement whereby the computing device switches to an alternative network interface accessing the network through a redundant path. Failover can be selective depending upon VLAN and trunking configurations.

A method for creating an updateable report representing the alarm status of a network. Network alarms are categorized based on the source and type of alarm, the alarms are placed in a filtering system based on source and type, selected alarms are replaced with alarm representations, and a report is updated with alarm representations. The filtering system comprises non-temporal, temporal, and linkage-based filtering. Non-temporal filtering includes de-duplication, clear message mapping, and classification. Temporal filtering includes frequency-based and cycling-based filtering. Linkage-based filtering includes internal linkage-based and external linkage-based filtering. The network can comprise the interconnected networks of an enterprise or of a single domain of an enterprise. The domain can comprise a business domain or operating system domain. The network can comprise a group of client computers connected to a server computer. The report can be displayed on a computer screen or can be sent to another location for further processing.

The present invention discloses a method for identifying node reachability, a method for identifying a link, a method for calculating a routing, and a method for disseminating node address information. In the method of the node address information dissemination, when the network is initiated, each node in the automatically switched optical network performs a node address aggregation process and an aggregation address dissemination process, and obtains and stores the aggregation address respectively. Therefore, any node in the network may judge whether the node and another node in the network are reachable to each other, and may further calculate the routing between the source and destination nodes pair. Moreover, the present invention also may determine whether any traffic engineering link in the multi-level ASON network is an external link or an internal link.

An integrated circuit implementing a storage-shelf router used alone, or in combination with other storage-shelf routers, and in combination with path controller cards, to interconnect the disks within a storage shelf or disk array to a high-bandwidth communications medium, such as an FC arbitrated loop, through which data is exchanged between the individual disk drives of the storage shelf and a disk-array controller. A set of interconnected storage-shelf routers within a storage shelf can be accessed through a single port of an FC arbitrated loop or other high-bandwidth communications medium. Because, in one implementation, eight storage-shelf routers can be interconnected within a storage shelf to provide highly available interconnection of sixty-four disk drives within the storage shelf to an FC arbitrated loop via a single FC-arbitrated-loop port, a single FC arbitrated loop including a disk-array controller, may interconnect 8,000 individual disk drives to the disk-array controller within a disk array. The storage-shelf router can serve to translate FC-based communications protocols into one or more communication protocols appropriate to the internal links, providing for use of less expensive, non-FC-compatible disk drives within the storage shelf.

Network elements such as digital crossconnects are provided with a 1:1 redundancy of, among other things, the switching matrix in order to maintain their functionality in the event of a hardware failure. Against disasters such as fires, explosions, or floods in which all equipment in a room is destroyed, the redundancy used in prior-art network elements can afford no protection.

To remedy this, the two switching matrices (21, 22), which are present anyhow, are installed in separate rooms (31, 32), i.e., a single network element is divided between two rooms. To this end, the interface modules (23, 24) are divided into two groups, and each of the groups is assigned to a respective one of the switching matrices. A respective one of the switching matrices and a respective one of the groups of interface modules are arranged in, e.g., a cabinet or rack so as to form a unit, and the units are interconnected by simple internal links (34) such that both switching matrices (21, 22) are connected to all interface modules (23, 24).
