Ranking services and generating top n rank lists

The patent US12072947B2 describes a system and method for analyzing network-related event data, specifically focusing on Domain Name System (DNS) events. The core functionality involves a processor that receives a set of DNS-related event data and generates a top N rank list to assess the popularity of various domains over a specified period, denoted as T days. The system determines daily ranks for each domain, calculates an average rank, and establishes rank intervals based on multiple samples. This information is then compiled into a rank interval list, which can be utilized by network devices to enforce security policies effectively.
Additionally, the patent outlines the aggregation of DNS-related event data to enhance the ranking process. The processor is designed to rank domains by popularity, ensuring that the top N rank list reflects the most relevant data. The method is also encapsulated in a non-transitory computer program product, which includes instructions for executing the aforementioned processes. This comprehensive approach aims to improve network security by providing a structured way to analyze domain popularity and associated risks based on DNS event data.
