The invention relates to a method for routing a bi-directional end-to-end connection between an end subscriber and the domain of a service provider by means of a signalling protocol via an interposed firewall with address transformation device, wherein by means of a security and tunnel device, located in the end-to-end connection between the end subscriber and the firewall with address transformation device in the domain of the end subscriber, and a session border controller, located in the end-to-end connection in the domain of the service provider, a tunnel is set up between the security and tunnel device and the session border controller and a bi-directional data exchange takes place via the tunnel between the end subscriber and the domain of the service provider in the area between the security and tunnel device and the session border controller by means of a tunnel protocol, and also a telecommunication network and a security and tunnel device for this.

The invention relates to a protection unit for protecting a packet-based network from attacks, comprising: a signature analyzer for analyzing a packet stream received in a security border node of the packet-based network and for detecting attacks by comparing signatures of the packet stream with a set of signatures of previously identified attacks, an anomaly detector for detecting anomalies in the packet stream, and a signature interference unit for updating the set of signatures when anomalies in the packet stream are detected, the updated set of signatures being subsequently used for performing the signature analysis. A distribution unit distributes at least one signature of the updated set of signatures to at least one further security border node of the packet-based network. The invention also relates to a security border node comprising such a protection unit, a network comprising at least two such protection units, and a corresponding protection method.

Attack protection for a packet-based network

The invention concerns a computer software product comprising a plurality of peers () adapted to participate in a peer-to-peer network where the computer software product comprises detection means for detecting actual presence information of a peer and where the computer software product comprises retrieval means for retrieving actual information about the peer, where the detection means is located on neighbor partner peer () of the peer () for detecting continuously whether the peer provides still actual information and the computer software product comprises propagation means for outdating the information about this peer in case of detecting that the peer is not alive. The invention further concerns a network device and a method therefore.

The invention relates to a method for generating an interactive virtual reality with a network service using interactive media-streaming technology comprising the steps of establishing an action stream session comprising connection handling, quality of service handling, adapting the network environment by demanding network resources and control information, establishing media-streaming path from the service to the client and a user interaction control path in the reverse direction, controlling the network with respect to required quality of service, continuously, generating and transmitting individual media streams to the client (ASC) by embedding interaction into a virtual reality, and extracting and encoding a media stream at the service using a virtual reality description compressed motion picture stream, encoding and transmitting the user's interaction to the service, as well as de-coding and playing the individual media data stream at the client side. Further it relates to a Action Streaming Service, Action Streaming Client (ASC), Action Streaming Server (ASS), Action Streaming System, Action Stream, Action Streaming Session, Action Streaming Protocol, and Computer Software Products for generating an interactive virtual reality.
