An analysis system automates IP address structure discovery by deep analysis of sample IPv6 addresses using a set of computational methods, namely, information-theoretic analysis, machine learning, and statistical modeling. The system receives a sample set of IP addresses, computes entropies, discovers and mines address segments, builds a network model of address segment inter-dependencies, and provides a graphical display with various plots and tools to enable a network analyst to navigate and explore the exposed IPv6 address structure. The structural information is then applied as input to applications that include: (a) identifying homogeneous groups of client addresses, e.g., to assist in mapping clients to content in a CDN; (b) supporting network situational awareness efforts, e.g., in cyber defense; (c) selecting candidate targets for active measurements, e.g., traceroutes campaigns, vulnerability assessments, or reachability surveys; and (d) remotely assessing a network's addressing plan and address assignment policy.

Techniques are described for managing communications between multiple computing nodes, such as for computing nodes that are part of managed virtual computer networks provided on behalf of users or other entities. In some situations, one or more of the computing nodes of a managed virtual computer network is configured to perform actions to extend capabilities of the managed virtual computer network to other computing nodes that are not part of the managed virtual computer network, such as by forwarding communications between computing nodes of the managed virtual computer network and the other external computing nodes so as to enable the other external computing nodes to participate in the managed virtual computer network. In some situations, the computing nodes may include virtual machine nodes hosted on one or more physical computing machines or systems, such as by or on behalf of one or more users.

Disclosed is a method including: receiving, by a routing device, a message; determining an indication of an authentication server for authenticating the user to access the network service; and generating an authentication request including at least the user identifier derived from the data structure to the determined authentication server. Also disclosed is a routing device and a computer program product.

Embodiments relate to systems, devices, and computing-implemented methods for generating domain name suggestions by obtaining a domain name suggestion input that includes textual data, segmenting the textual data into tokens, obtaining a list of possible affixes to the textual data, determining conditional probabilities for the possible affixes using a language model, ranking the list of possible affixes based on the conditional probabilities to generate a ranked list of affixes, and generating domain name suggestions based on the ranked list of affixes.

The present invention relates to a method for controlling devices within an agricultural network system via a network bus such as a physical network bus or a logical network bus, wherein the devices are controlled by means of control information which is transmitted to the devices by means of messages comprising a content and a header title, the method comprising steps for:—determining a function for performing thereof by a device in the network,—determining the content of a message to be transmitted,—compiling header title information for inclusion thereof in a header title for the message to be transmitted, wherein—the header title information comprises a predetermined number of data fields, such as preferably a network identifier, a device type designation, a function designation, a location designation and/or a group designation, for the purpose of determining on the basis of compliance with one or more of these data fields which device or devices receive(s) the message.

Systems and methods of registering geocodes with a geofence and delivering geocodes which define geofences to devices are described herein. Geocodes include strings of words, letters, numbers, and combinations thereof. Geocodes associated with the same or similar geofences are cohesive and provide for improved location information, with IP addresses being assigned to the geocodes.

Disclosed are various embodiments for distributed network address allocation management. In one embodiment, a first instance of a plurality of instances of an allocation management service assigns a first portion of a network address space to the first instance and a second portion of the network address space to a second instance of the plurality of instances. The second instance receives a request to allocate a particular network address block. The second instance allocates the particular network address block from the second portion of the network address space by updating an allocation data structure. An allocation of the particular network address block is returned in response to the request. A copy of the allocation data structure maintained by the first instance is updated asynchronously based at least in part on the allocation of the particular network address block.

One or more DNS services are provided that are configured to not only tolerate some commonly observed DNSSEC misconfigurations (while still providing DNSSEC's security guarantees), but also provide a more intelligent DNS resolution process informed by DNSSEC.

A method, computer program product, and computing system for generating one or more unique network addresses for one or more storage array enclosures of a storage system. The one or more unique network addresses may be advertised to one or more storage processors of the storage system. The one or more storage processors may be configured to communicate with a plurality of storage devices of the one or more storage array enclosures based upon, at least in part, the one or more unique network addresses of the one or more storage array enclosures.

Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, application delivery controller (ADC) apparatuses, and network traffic management systems that receive a request including an Internet Protocol (IP) version 6 (IPv6) source address and an IPv6 destination address. A client IP version 4 (IPv4) address of a client from which the request originated and a server IPv4 address of a server are determined from one or more extracted portions of one or more of the IPv6 source address or the IPv6 destination address. The request is modified to include an IPv4 source address and an IPv4 destination address. The IPv4 source address and the IPv4 destination address include the client IPv4 address and the server IPv4 address, respectively. The modified request is sent to the server based on the server IPv4 address included in the IPv4 destination address of the modified request.
