METHODS FOR MAPPING IP ADDRESSES AND DOMAINS TO ORGANIZATIONS USING USER ACTIVITY DATA

A computer-implemented method is provided for mapping IP addresses and domain names to organizations. The method includes receiving, by a mapping system from an data provider, a dataset related to a plurality of users of the data provider. The dataset includes (a) an IP address for a user device of each user of the plurality of users, and (b) a domain name for a user account of each user of the plurality of users; enriching, by an analytics engine of the mapping system, the received dataset with enrichment data from an enrichment source; receiving, by the analytics engine from a storage medium, historical data relevant to the enriched dataset; and mapping, by the analytics engine, (i) the IP address and/or (ii) the domain name of each user of a portion of the plurality of users to an organization based on the enriched dataset and the historical data.

Load balancing Hadoop distributed file system operations in a non-native operating system

Implementations are provided herein for utilizing the two-part nature of HDFS protocol communications received in a non-native HDFS environment to use discriminative information learned in the NameNode request to make the client experience more efficient. NameNode requests can be received by any node among a cluster of nodes. It can be appreciated that in some non-native HDFS, clients can communicate with any node among a cluster of nodes to perform transactions and need not first communicate with a NameNode. In addition, any node among the cluster of nodes has access to any data within the HDFS. Thus, upon receiving a NameNode request, the non-native HDFS Cluster of Nodes can more effectively load balance the cluster by directing HDFS clients to connect with Nodes that are less busy than other nodes. In this sense, a more efficient client experience can be offered for HDFS clients within a non-native HDFS environment.

Determining fixed/mobile and proxy/non-proxy network addresses

In one embodiment, a processing technique is provided for determining a refined attribute of a network address based on one or more other attributes. A network address associated with a source device in communication with a network is observed. One or more first attributes of the network address are determined, where the one or more first attributes indicate at least a spatial or temporal property of the network address. The one or more first attributes are processed to determine a second attribute to be associated with the network address, where the second attribute indicates whether the network address is a fixed or mobile network address, or is a proxy or non-proxy network address. A record is stored that maintains the association between the second attribute and the network address.
