DATA NETWORK SERVICE BASED ON PROFILING IP-ADDRESSES

摘要

At a network access point, the requests are monitored that clients submit to a plurality of server addresses. A database is formed for mapping of the client population onto the server addresses. This enables determining which of the server addresses are more popular than others with a specific segment of the client population. Segmenting the client population is based on commonalities in attributes extracted from the requests. This mapping enables other data network services such as web portals and search engines to target specific segments of the client population.
