whitepaper Social Networking Now Under Big Yellow's Control, Thanks to Bloxx2008-11-25 Bloxx
  Big Yellow was having a problem with employees becoming addicted to Facebook and other social networking sites; visiting them to excess during working hours. Previously, Grinnall tried to use Microsoft ISA Server to manage web access. Big Yellow installed the Bloxx appliance as a proxy server on its network. The appliance was integrated with Microsoft Active Directory and is configured to filter web traffic depending on the end user. Bloxx web filtering technology is an easy, drop-in hardware solution which uses internationally patent pending technology to analyse and block web sites quicker and more accurately than other web filters using manual classification and keyword scoring alone.

whitepaper Protecting SIP Proxy Servers From Ringing-Based Denial-of-Service Attacks2008-09-17 University of Illinois
  As Internet telephony systems continue to replace existing Public Switched Telephone Network systems, proxy servers running the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) will continue to grow in importance for Voiceover-IP deployments that use SIP for call signaling. Since the protection of the global telecommunications infrastructure is critical to people's everyday lives, ensuring the availability of SIP proxy servers under attack should be a high priority. This paper first describes a disruptive denial-of-service attack that exploits the semantics of the SIP protocol to exhaust resources at a stateful SIP proxy server. Unlike previous approaches that focus on flooding-based denial-of-service attacks, the paper considers attacks that do not result in high incoming call traffic rates at the SIP proxy server.

whitepaper What Is a Proxy Server?2008-09-13 SecPoint
  A proxy server, also known as a "Proxy" or "Application level gateway", is a computer that acts as a gateway between a local network (e.g., all the computers at one company or in one building) and a larger-scale network such as the Internet. Proxy servers provide increased performance and security. In some cases, they monitor employees' use of outside resources. A proxy server works by intercepting connections between sender and receiver. All incoming data enters through one port and is forwarded to the rest of the network via another port. By blocking direct access between two networks, proxy servers make it much more difficult for hackers to get internal addresses and details of a private network.

whitepaper Anonymous Proxy: A Growing Trend in Internet Abuse2008-09-09 Bloxx
  Anonymous proxies are an unseen threat--a student's or employee's backdoor to malicious or productivity-sapping sites on the Internet. If your URL filtering solution relies on the old-school URL database/keyword approach, your ship is leaking and you may not see the holes.

With hundreds of new proxy sites created each day, traditional URL filtering just can't keep up, even when supplemented by standard keyword analysis. This paper offers a primer on the problems, the sizable costs and time drain for IT professionals, and a discussion of an effective third-generation solution that goes far beyond the traditional strategy.

whitepaper Connection Caching for WWW Servers and Proxies2008-06-10 University of Electro-Communications
  This paper proposes connection caching to reduce the overhead of accessing WWW pages. Connection caching means that a WWW server or a WWW proxy server does not release its connection with a client or a peer but retains it and uses it again after the transmission is completed. The retained connection is cached and it is used for future access. Connection caching reduces network traffic and server load. This paper shows that the hit rate of connection caching for WWW accesses is high and connection caching is effective. This evaluation is based on actual logs from a server and a proxy server. The logs are records of 350 days. The log from the proxy server includes more than 14 million accesses.

whitepaper Back-to-Back User Agent (B2BUA) SIP Servers Powering Next Generation Networks2008-02-27 RADVision
  SIP Back-to-Back User Agent (B2BUA) Servers are probably one of the most important and powerful types of SIP Servers. B2BUA servers are commonly used to develop and offer value added features. The difference between Proxy server and B2BUA server is sometimes not fully understood, but effectively B2BUA servers are much stronger and intelligent entities that can perform actions which Proxy servers cant. This white paper provides managers in the VoIP and real-time multimedia industry an overall understanding of B2BUA servers. Better understanding of B2BUA servers can help managers understand the value, and the tradeoffs, of choosing a B2BUA server as the framework for developing a wide range of SIP applications and SIP services.
