Methods and systems for dynamically optimized rule-based security policy management are provided. A request is received by a network security management device to add a new traffic flow policy rule to multiple existing policy rules managed by the network security management device. Dependencies of the new traffic flow policy rule on the existing policy rules are automatically determined. An updated set of policy rules is formed by incorporating the new traffic flow policy rule within the existing policy rules based on the dependencies. The updated set of policy rules is then optimized by grouping, reordering and / or deleting a sub-set of policy rules of the updated set of policy rules based on one or more of weights assigned to particular types of traffic, preference settings, priority settings, network traffic characteristics and usage statistics for each policy rule of the updated set of policy rules.

An apparatus and method predict and detect network attacks by using a diverse set of indicators to measure aspects of the traffic and by encoding traffic characteristics using these indicators of potential attacks or anomalous behavior. The set of indicators is analyzed by supervised learning to automatically learn a decision rule which examines the temporal patterns in the coded values of the set of indicators to accurately detect and predict network attacks. The rules automatically evolve in response to new attacks as the system updates its rules periodically by analyzing new data and feedback signals about attacks associated with that data. To assist human operators, the system also provides human interpretable explanations of detection and prediction rules by pointing to indicators whose values contribute to a decision that there is an existing network attack or an imminent network attack. When such indictors are detected, an operator can take remediation actions.

A system for increasing the safety of using cellular telephones stores the geographic coordinates of intersections and other traffic features of a local area in a server. The server is interfaced to the cellular telephone network. A programmable GPS enabled telephone handset determines its location upon start-up and transmits that location to through the cellular network to the server. The server responds by transmitting the coordinates of intersections and traffic features surrounding the present location of the telephone handset. As the handset changes location, it determines its new location and compares it to the coordinates provided by the server.

In this manner a driver speaking on the telephone is alerted before driving into an intersection or other significant traffic feature.

Communication traffic associated with one or more mobile terminals is monitored to efficiently manage allocated radio resources. A rate management technique dynamically adjusts allocated radio resources to increase or decrease the data rate capacity of allocated radio channels based on actual channel usage. In this manner, radio resources are more efficiently utilized because the amount of excess capacity allocated to individual subscribers is reduced. Monitoring communication traffic may also be used to determine whether additional radio channel resources are allocated to a given subscriber. For example, in a cdma2000 radio access network, subscribers are typically allocated fundamental radio channels and then assigned supplemental channels to access higher data rate services. By monitoring fundament channel traffic characteristics, such as the queue length or packet size of outgoing packet data, the radio access network can determine whether supplemental channel allocation is warranted.

The data is transferred in response to a bandwidth allocation from the server based on the request. The network traffic characteristics (e.g. packet loss or latency, and session time outs) are monitored during the data transfer. If the process lags behind more bandwidth is allocated.

Adaptive jitter buffer management, e.g., for playout of packetized data transmitted over a network. Playout delay is iteratively adjusted based on changing network traffic characteristics by varying the release threshold in a jitter buffer. The adjustment is carried out by evaluating three quantities: (1) average packet transit time over the network; (2) jitter of the packet transit time; and (3) additional waiting time due to the presence of out-of-sequence packets. This invention reduces negative effects of jitter and / or transmission irregularities, such as late arrival of packets and out-of-sequence packets, while maintaining relatively low playout delay and relatively high quality of service.
