Methods and apparatus consistent with the invention provide the ability to organize and build understandings of machine data generated by a variety of information-processing environments. Machine data is a product of information-processing systems (e.g., activity logs, configuration files, messages, database records) and represents the evidence of particular events that have taken place and been recorded in raw data format. In one embodiment, machine data is turned into a machine data web by organizing machine data into events and then linking events together.

Apparatus for recording and collecting usage and other statistical data from components of a cable data network comprises a network manager for maintaining and collecting the statistics. Internet protocol addresses are associated with components of the network. The component maintains a software agent that manages a statistics database. Responsive to a manager request generated at a service provider defined time interval, the component software agent provides the usage statistics to the network manager in real-time during an Internet session with a host. When the host to Internet or other data connection is torn down due to failure, disconnect or inactivity time-out, remaining usage statistics data is collected and the session duration updated with the time of tear down. Usage statistics collected include the amount of data transferred to / from a host, the amount of data that is discarded due to insufficient resource capacity and amount of data that cannot be corrected despite forward error correction used in a downstream high capacity channel to the host. Data traps may be defined and downloaded to components of the network for implementation. As a result, billing of users of the cable data network can be usage sensitive and determined based on actual data transferred (including credit given for errored data) and / or time sensitive based on session duration.

A security system for monitoring a premises. Alarm information, including a near real-time feed of video and / or audio data, is collected at the premises and retrieved by a remotely located monitoring computer workstation over a data network. If desired, a remotely located emergency response computer workstation coupled to the data network may be authorized, by the monitoring computer workstation, to retrieve the collected alarm information over the data network. The emergency response computer workstation may also be granted control of the alarm information collecting devices located at the monitored premises.

A method for verifying a person's identity in order to gain access to electronic data, a data network, a physical location, or enable a commercial transaction. A request for identity verification is processed over a data network and the system is initiated which (i) transmits a disposable pass phrase over a data network to the user, (ii) prompts the user to vocalize the disposable pass phrase, a pass phrase, and user id, (iii) compares the recited speech of the user to the stored voiceprint of the user, the stored pass phrase and id of the user, and the generated disposable pass phrase, then (iv) issues a token or signal that represents whether the user was verified or not.

“A method of supporting mobility in an Internet Protocol (IP)-based data network. The method comprises the steps of generating a first stateful IP autoconfiguration message at a mobile node, whereby the message includes an address capable of use for routing maintenance. The mobile node transmits the generated message to a first access node, which incorporates its address and forwards the message to a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) Server. The DHCP Server and access node analyse the message to determine a route to deliver data to and / or from the mobile node. One or more route update message are triggered from said access node and said DHCP server to a number of network elements between said access node and said DHCP server in the IP based data network to support mobility in an IP domain with minimum bandwidth use and minimum tunnelling required.”

Systems and methods of authenticating user access based on an access point to a secure data network include a secure data network having a plurality of a network access points serving as entry points for a user to access the secure data network using a user device. The user is associated with a user identity, each network access point with a network access point identity. The user uses a user device to send an access request, requesting access to the secure data network, to the network access point, which then sends an authentication request to an identity server. The identity server processes the authentication request, by validating the combination of the user identity and the network access point identity, and responds with an authentication response, granting or denying access, as communicated to the user device via an access response. The secure data network may comprise an application level secure data network, in which the user uses the user device to request access to a network application. Furthermore, the identity server may validate the combined user identity and network access point identity data in conjunction with time information, access allowance data, and / or traffic volume data.

Method for automatically monitoring and verifying advertising content during a campaign, delivered over a data network. Accordingly, one or more advertisers submit, via a user interface, a list (that may be generated manually or by the mapping crawlers) of sites or of sections per site, on which the advertising content should be placed according to a desired insertion order (the insertion order information may modified at any time point). In addition, one or more mapping crawlers are activated to visit these sites and locate pages with advertisements that belong to required sections, pages that do not belong to the required sections or pages with high probability for incidents. A list of pages to visit per every site is generated and autonomous or Plug-in visual crawlers are allowed to visit the list of pages, according to a predetermined site visiting plan. A crawlers' manager allocates the pages between visual crawlers, for obtaining required adequate incident coverage and load on the visual crawlers. An incident identifier compares the insertion orders with the delivery data and whenever an insertion order and its corresponding delivery data do not match, an incident report is generated.
