A method for detecting nodes in an enterprise network infected with aberrant code is presented in which traffic conversation information representative of traffic conversation in the enterprise network over an analysis period is obtained. Analysis of the obtained traffic conversation information identifies suspected infected nodes in the enterprise network that exhibit behavior outside of the normal behavior associated with the one or more traffic conversation factors. Anomaly analysis may be performed on traffic conversation information associated with the suspected infected nodes to identify any existing infected nodes in the enterprise network.

A method and apparatus is disclosed herein for information delivery with network coding over time-varying network topologies. In one embodiment, the method comprises decomposing a sequence of topology graphs that model a time-varying network topology into a plurality of virtual graphs, where each virtual graph of the plurality of virtual graphs corresponds to a distinct traffic class, and the virtual topology graph representing a partial topology of a time-varying network. The method also includes selecting a network code for each virtual graph in the plurality of the virtual graphs to meet requirements of the distinct traffic class corresponding to said each topology graph, where the network code is used to encode packets of the associated traffic class, and processing packets of each traffic class using the network code determined by its corresponding virtual topology and the requirements of said each traffic class, including using a virtual buffer system to implement the network code corresponding to each traffic class over the physical network topology. The method also includes using a scheduler to determine the transmission schedules for each output packet from the virtual buffer system of each traffic class where the scheduling decisions are based, at least in part, on the QoS requirements of each class.

A network and a method for transmitting processes in a network are disclosed, where a randomized coding approach is provided. Network nodes transmit on each outgoing link a linear combination of incoming signals, specified by independently and randomly chosen code coefficients from a finite field. The approach allows robust, distributed transmission and compression of information in networks and is advantageous over routing-based approaches.

A method is proposed for building a network coding scheme adapted to the transmission of data between a plurality of source nodes and a plurality of destination nodes in a communications network comprising a plurality of nodes, the method comprising the following steps:for each destination node, determining a first set of source nodes from which there exist disjointed paths, in the communications network, to reach the destination node;determining a second set of source nodes which is the intersection of the first determined sets for the destination nodes;determining a sub-network for implementing the network coding comprising:source nodes which belong only to the second set of source nodes,the plurality of destination nodes, andnodes included in the disjointed paths connecting the source nodes of the second set of source nodes and the destination nodes; andbuilding a network coding scheme based on the determined sub-network.

A method and apparatus that improves the performance of TCP (and other protocols) in a data network by segmenting the TCP path and implementing a proprietary protocol (DPR™) over the network. The DPR™ protocol provides a multiplexed tunnel for a multiplicity of TCP sessions from a client to a cloud proxy. DPR™ implements congestion management, flow control, reliability, and link monitoring. Other network protocols (such as UDP) are supported with a reliability protocol based upon network coding that improves the transmission reliability. Also, a network and a method for transmitting processes in a network are disclosed, using deterministic coefficients for encoding packets based on network coding principles.
