Abstract

A communication system including a registry, a traffic service-level classifier, and a network traffic controller receives messages from a communication address, and performs a proactive address verification process to determine a class of service for the network traffic controller to utilize for the communication address, thereby unlocking additional functionality for the communication address on the network.

Claims (46)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a processing device, a message associated with a communication address of a party originating the message;

determining a class of service associated with the communication address;

responsive to validating the communication address, adjusting the class of service of the communication address;

modifying, based on the adjusted class of service, a link reliability parameter associated with the communication address;

selecting, based on the link reliability parameter, one or more links having their respective reliabilities corresponding to the adjusted class of service; and

forwarding the message via the one or more links.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein adjusting the class of service comprises one of: elevating the class of service or downgrading the class of service.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

responsive to validating the communication address, elevating a priority of a message queue associated with the communication address.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

reducing aggression level of a spam filter with respect to one or more messages originated from the communication addresses.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining a class of service is performed based on one or more attributes of the message.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining a class of service is performed based on one or more metrics of network traffic.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining a class of service further comprises:

performing semantic pattern analysis of the message.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining a class of service further comprises:

comparing the message with another message received from a verified communication address.

9. A system, comprising:

a memory; and

a processor, coupled to the memory, the processor to:

receive a message associated with a communication address of a party originating the message;

determine a class of service associated with the communication address;

responsive to validating the communication address, adjust the class of service of the communication address;

modify, based on the adjusted class of service, a link reliability parameter associated with the communication address;

select, based on the link reliability parameter, one or more links having their respective reliabilities corresponding to the adjusted class of service; and

forward the message via the one or more links.

10. The system of claim 9 , further comprising:

responsive to validating the communication address, elevating a priority of a message queue associated with the communication address.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further to:

reducing aggression level of a spam filter with respect to one or more messages originated from the communication addresses.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein determining a class of service is performed based on one or more attributes of the message.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein determining a class of service is performed based on one or more metrics of network traffic.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein determining a class of service further comprises:

performing semantic pattern analysis of the message.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein determining a class of service further comprises:

comparing the message with another message received from a verified communication address.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions which, when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to perform operations, comprising:

receiving, by a processing device, a message associated with a communication address of a party originating the message;

determining a class of service associated with the communication address;

responsive to validating the communication address, adjusting the class of service of the communication address;

modify, based on the adjusted class of service, a link reliability parameter associated with the communication address;

select, based on the link reliability parameter, one or more links having their respective reliabilities corresponding to the adjusted class of service; and

forward the message via the one or more links.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein determining a class of service is performed based on one or more attributes of the message.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein determining a class of service is performed based on one or more metrics of network traffic.
