20090157875 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ASYMMETRIC INTERNET TRAFFIC MONITORING BY THIRD PARTIES USING MONITORING IMPLEMENTS - Disclosed is an internet traffic monitoring method. In the method, copied packets that are based on original packets sent from a user client are monitored for a web content request meeting certain monitoring selection criteria. Upon detection of a copied packet having a web content request meeting the selection criteria, a replacement packet is forwarded to the user client such that the user client receives the replacement packet before receiving a response packet from a target server of the corresponding original packet, wherein the replacement packet has a redirection with a fabricated web content request to a monitoring web page including at least one monitoring implement. | 06-18-2009 |
20090177771 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTERNET TRAFFIC MONITORING BY THIRD PARTIES USING MONITORING IMPLEMENTS - Disclosed is an internet traffic monitoring method. In the method, a first packet, sent from a user client, having a web content request meeting certain monitoring selection criteria is detected. Upon detection of the first packet, a second packet is forwarded to the user client. The second packet has a redirection with a fabricated web content request to a monitoring web page including at least one monitoring implement. | 07-09-2009 |
20090182897 | METHOD AND APPARATUS THAT PROVIDES TARGETED HTTP DELIVERIES FOR USERS WITHIN A PRIVATE NETWORK - The present invention enables a NSP to customize content to any number of user profiles, instances, browsers or computers including systems that are located behind a NAT network. It solves the persistent issues that multiple users and NAT networks present to the NSP who does not have view into the individual computers located on the NSP network. In addition to enabling the full revenue potential of a network, the invention enables the targeting of any customer service content to be delivered. | 07-16-2009 |
20090204688 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MODIFYING HTTP AT A REMOTE DATA CENTER VIA TUNNELING - Disclosed is a method for targeted web content modification. In the method, a network service provider determines whether a web content request from an internet user station is a first-type request or a second-type request. If the web content request is a first-type request, then the first-type web content request is forwarded to the internet. Otherwise, if the web content request is a second-type request, then the second-type web content request is tunneled to a content modification station. The content modification station selectively responds to the tunneled second-type web content request with a redirection including a modified web content request. The internet user client receives modified web content based on the modified web content request. | 08-13-2009 |
20090216882 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTERNET TRAFFIC MONITORING BY THIRD PARTIES USING MONITORING IMPLEMENTS TRANSMITTED VIA PIGGYBACKING HTTP TRANSACTIONS - Disclosed is an internet traffic monitoring method that includes a network service provider analyzing an HTTP transaction involving an internet user client. The network service provider responds to the HTTP transaction by forwarding, to the internet user client, a modified web object including a monitoring implement. After forwarding the modified web object to the internet user client, the network service provider forwards a web object, originally associated with the HTTP transaction, to the internet user client. | 08-27-2009 |
20100024032 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EFFECTING AN INTERNET USER'S PRIVACY DIRECTIVE - Disclosed is a method for effecting an internet user's privacy directive. In the method, copied packets, that are based on original packets sent from a user client, are monitored for a web content request including state information that is not in compliance with a user's privacy directive. Upon detection of a copied packet having a web content request including noncompliant state information, the state information is modified to comply with the user's privacy directive. A replacement packet is forwarded to the user client such that the user client receives the replacement packet before receiving a response packet from a target server of the corresponding original packet. The replacement packet has a redirection with a renewed web content request including the modified state information. | 01-28-2010 |
