Abstract
A redirection of a URL page request may be performed by monitoring an upstream path from a subscriber to the internet through an ISP. When a URL page request is detected from a subscriber for whom a redirection is required, a redirection device generates a single TCP packet response that mimics a response from the intended destination server. The single TCP packet includes a set FIN bit that closes any active session with the destination server to prevent the subscriber from accepting packets from the destination server.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a redirection device, that a bulletin service is pending for a subscriber based on a mirrored URL page request;
- generating, by the redirection device, a redirection response comprising a TCP packet that mimics a response from a destination server by identifying the destination server in a source port field of a TCP header of the TCP packet;
- and
- transmitting, by the redirection device, the TCP packet to the subscriber to redirect the subscriber from the destination server to the pending bulletin service and close an active session between the subscriber and the destination server, wherein the pending bulletin service comprises a frame with a notification message combined with content of a web page originally requested via the mirrored URL page request.

A system, comprising:
- a redirection device comprising a processor, wherein the redirection device is operatively associated with a memory and has access to at least one database,
- wherein the redirection device is further configured to:
- determine that a bulletin service is pending for a subscriber based on a mirrored web request,
- generate a redirection response comprising a TCP packet that mimics a response from a destination server by identifying the destination server in a source port field of a TCP header of the TCP packet;
- and
- transmit a TCP packet to the subscriber to redirect the subscriber from the destination server to the pending bulletin service and close an active session between the subscriber and the destination server, wherein the pending bulletin service comprises a frame with a notification message which is combined with content of a web page originally requested via the mirrored web request.
