Maximizing network traffic by predicting upcoming events

Highlights

• Software for predicting computer events based on recognition of network traffic patterns
• In P2P communications, provides a solution to unstable download rates by predicting upcoming traffic loads
• In DPI appliances, provides a solution for recognizing protocols based on behavioural evaluation

Our Innovation

System for predicting events by learning the behaviour patterns of protocols. For example, the system examines packets being transferred from a machine and, based on the pattern of bits in the packets, predicts whether they will result in a heavy load on the uplink to another machine without needing to examine deeply the specific content of those packets or to analyze the specific protocols.

Key Features

• System not restricted to specific protocols - works with existing protocols and learns new protocols
• More generic than other systems in recognizing protocols because it does not require typical deep packet inspection (DPI) processes that embed previous knowledge about the protocol
• Enables stable download rates for P2P streaming for Internet TV, CDNs and VoD networks
• Enables Internet service providers (ISPs) to predict and recognise heavy P2P traffic and take timely action

• Streaming Media Market to Grow 135% Over 5 Years
• Internet video is now approximately one-third of all consumer Internet.
• The cost to Google of YouTube bandwidth is a minimum of $1 million a day.
• Our technology offers better QoS for P2P streaming networks that are cost effective compared to traditional streaming networks.
