SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DIRECTION OF COMMUNICATION TRAFFIC

摘要

An internet traffic redirection architecture (FIG.3) is disclosed that allows for directing of various traffic to specified sites (7). The system and method allow a controller, such as an ISP (6), to benefit from unresolved IP Address requests and keyword and hotword queries by capturing this traffic and directing it to participating partners (7) who provide content relevant and/or geographically relevant results (7). The system and method can decrease lost traffic, irrelevant keyword and hotword search results, and irrelevant redirection by web browsers resident on user's personal computers (5).
