Abstract: Improved techniques for interaction between a host device (e.g., host computer) and a portable media device (e.g., media player) are disclosed. According to one embodiment, interaction between the host device and the portable media device can be performed over a network. The network can include wired and/or wireless components. The network can also be local, regional or global in geographic coverage. The interaction over the network can be initiated by the portable media device, manually or automatically, so as to request a content update from the host device. In response to the requested content update, updated content is received at the portable media device from the host device, provided a network connection between the portable media device and the host device is available through the network.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for distributing content over a network. The method distributes a single media storage structure to a device (e.g., a computer, portable player, etc.) that connects to the network. The media storage structure includes first and second pieces of encrypted content. Based on whether the device is allowed to access the first piece of content, the second piece of content, or both, the method provides the device with a set of keys for decrypting the pieces of the content that the device is able to access. The provided set of keys might include one or more keys for decrypting only one of the two encrypted pieces of content. Alternatively, it might include one or more keys for decrypting both encrypted pieces of content. For instance, the selected set of keys might include a first key for decrypting the first encrypted piece and a second key for decrypting the second encrypted piece. Based on the provided set of keys, the device can then decrypt and access either one of the two pieces of content in the media storage structure or both pieces of encrypted content in the media storage structure.

Abstract translation: 本发明的一些实施例提供了一种通过网络分发内容的方法。 该方法将单个媒体存储结构分发到连接到网络的设备（例如，计算机，便携式播放器等）。 媒体存储结构包括第一和第二片加密内容。 基于该设备是否允许访问第一条内容，第二条内容或两者，该方法向设备提供用于解密设备能够访问的内容的一组密钥。 所提供的密钥集可以包括用于仅解密两个加密的内容中的一个的一个或多个密钥。 或者，它可以包括用于解密加密的内容片段的一个或多个密钥。 例如，所选择的密钥集合可以包括用于解密第一加密片段的第一密钥和用于解密第二加密片段的第二密钥。 基于所提供的一组密钥，设备可以解密和访问媒体存储结构中的两条内容中的任何一个或媒体存储结构中的两条加密内容。

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention determines if a domain name system (DNS) server is flawed. During operation, the system sends a special exploratory query to the DNS server, wherein the exploratory query is constructed to detect the existence of a flaw in the DNS server. If the answer from the DNS server indicates that a flaw exists in the DNS server, the system takes remedial action. Another embodiment detects a non-compliant router that incorrectly responds to all address-resolution-protocol (ARP) requests, including ARP requests for link-local IP addresses. This embodiment sends an ARP request asking for an Ethernet address associated with a reserved link-local IP address, which should not be assigned to any device. If a response is received to the ARP request, the system determines that the response was sent by a non-compliant router that incorrectly responds to all ARP requests, including ARP requests for link-local IP addresses.
