Rate limiting filtering applied to the host... been done in the network before with ACLs and firewalls. Not sure this rises to the level of a patent as moving the rules from the network to the host is obvious and it is very close to prior art.

But I like the idea anyway.

Penn State has filed for a patent for the system invented by Liu and doctoral students Yoon-Chan Jhi and Lunquan Li.

The de-Americanization of scientific academia is growing apace. Tough research, modest salaries and uncertain returns and future are turning US science into an increasingly Oriental-dominated field. I work amongst them.

This is not a criticism of the Chinese. They're simply filling a vacuum created by the American abandonment of science.

Sheesh. I wrote my own <1000 line program to do exactly this with Perl and libpcap years ago when Blaster, etc. hit. Amazing what can be patented -- and sadly they'll probably get it awarded.
