Appl. No.:

11/040364

Inventors:

Samuel P. Hopkins - Freedom PA, US

Assignee:

Tiversa, Inc. - Cranberry Township PA

International Classification:

H04L 12/28
H04J 3/14
H04J 1/16
G08C 15/00
G06F 11/00

US Classification:

370401, 370229, 370238, 370351, 709203

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a node for deployment on a peer to peer network. The node is programmed for monitoring the network to receive communication messages therefrom and to forward the communication messages, optionally changing the communications radius parameters to an optimal or near optimal value. The node can forward messages from one network to another or from one network to the same network. The invention also provides a method for monitoring communication messages for selected objects by nodes on a peer to peer network. The method includes interposing the node on the network. The node has at least one stored object corresponding to a communication message object stored at the node; and monitors the network to detect communication messages matching at least one of the stored objects and decides whether or not to forward or change communication message radius parameters based on some defined programming or configuration.

International Classification:

H04L 12/28

US Classification:

370401, 370254

Abstract:

A telecommunication system includes a first network having a first node and a second node which can communicate with each other. The system includes a third node separate and apart from the first network. The system includes a communication portion in communication with the first network and the third node through which the third node is only able to communicate with the first node, but not with the second node through the first node. A telecommunication system using the Internet includes a first network having a first node having a first port, a second node having a second port and a primary server in communication with each other. The system includes a second network having a third node and a fourth node and a client server in communication with each other. The third node has a connection with the port of the first node via the client server and through the Internet and the primary server using gateway methodology so the second node cannot be accessed by the third node through the first node. The present invention pertains to a method for telecommunications.

US Classification:

370389, 370346, 709220, 709224, 709225, 726 26

Abstract:

A system and method for detecting peer-to-peer network software operating on a target computer. A target file is created, and placed in one or more folders on the target computer. A search is issued on a Peer-to-Peer network for the target file. Peer-to-peer software is detected to be operating on the target computer in accordance with results of the search.

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a pseudonode used for deployment on a peer to peer network which pseudonode comprises an IP address and client ID that is changeable upon the occurrence of a preselected event and includes a list containing at least one searchable data object. The pseudonode is programmed for monitoring the network to receive search requests therefrom and to compare each said received search with said list of data objects and to respond to such request. The invention also provides a method for monitoring search requests for selected objects by nodes on a peer to peer network. The method includes interposing the pseudonodes on the network in which it is configured to provide at least one IP address and optionally at least one client ID. The pseudonode has at least one stored object corresponding to a request object stored at said pseudonode; and monitors the network to detect requests matching at least one of the stored objects and acquires a unique ID generated by any network node requesting the object matching that stored object on the pseudonode and responding to substantially each node representing an acquired ID.

Abstract:

A pseudonode for deployment on a peer to peer network. The pseudonode is programmed for monitoring the peer to peer network to receive search requests therefrom, optionally comparing each said received search with said list of data objects, and to respond to such requests. The response may include advertising; the advertising may be selected in response to the request. The invention also provides a method for monitoring search requests for selected objects by nodes on a peer to peer network. The method further includes interposing the pseudonodes on the network in which it is configured to provide at least one IP address and optionally at least one client ID.
