DISTINCTION DEVICE, DISTINCTION METHOD, AND DISTINCTION PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18685407 titled 'DISTINCTION DEVICE, DISTINCTION METHOD, AND DISTINCTION PROGRAM
The abstract describes a patent application that involves two collection units storing information related to IP addresses, domain names, and communication destination servers using name resolution packets and header information from encapsulated packets.
- The first collection unit stores associations between an IP address of a user terminal, a domain name, and an IP address of a communication destination server in a name resolution information collection DB.
- The second collection unit stores correspondences among an IP address outside a capsule of a user terminal, an IP address inside the capsule, and an IP address of a communication destination server in an inner-outer association DB using header information from encapsulated packets.
Potential Applications: - Enhancing network security by tracking communication between user terminals and destination servers. - Improving network efficiency by optimizing name resolution processes. - Facilitating network troubleshooting by providing detailed information on communication paths.
Problems Solved: - Lack of detailed information on communication paths in a network. - Inefficient name resolution processes. - Difficulty in tracking communication between user terminals and destination servers.
Benefits: - Enhanced network security and monitoring capabilities. - Improved network performance and efficiency. - Streamlined troubleshooting processes for network issues.
Commercial Applications: Title: Network Communication Monitoring and Optimization Technology This technology can be utilized in cybersecurity firms, network management companies, and telecommunications providers to enhance network performance and security.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve network security? 2. What are the key differences between the first and second collection units in terms of the information they store?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in network communication monitoring and optimization technologies to ensure optimal network performance and security.
Original Abstract Submitted
A first collection unit () stores an association between an IP address of the user terminal, a domain name, and an IP address of a communication destination server corresponding to the domain name in a name resolution information collection DB () of a storage unit () using a name resolution packet between a user terminal and a DNS server. A second collection unit () stores a correspondence among an IP address outside a capsule of a user terminal, an IP address inside the capsule, and an IP address of a communication destination server in an inner-outer association DB () of the storage unit () using header information outside the capsule of an encapsulated packet between the user terminal and the communication destination server and header information inside the capsule.
