International Classification:

G06F015/16
G06F011/30

US Classification:

709229, 709219, 709225, 713201

Abstract:

A method for controlling subscriber access in a network capable of establishing connections with multiple services includes receiving a communication from a subscriber using a first communication network coupled to a second communication network, the communication optionally including a domain identifier associated with a service on the second communication network, and authorizing the subscriber to access a service on the second communication network using a virtual circuit. The authorization is based upon a domain configuration override attribute associated with the virtual circuit used to receive the communication from the subscriber. An access server capable of forcing subscribers of a communications system to gain access exclusively to a domain network associated with a virtual circuit includes an authorizer to grant service authorization to the subscribers based upon a virtual circuit used to make a service request, a virtual circuit profile request generator to generate virtual circuit profile requests and a calculator to determine whether the service associated with the virtual circuit matches the service associated with a domain configuration override attribute.

Abstract:

A method for controlling subscriber access in a network capable of establishing connections with a plurality of domains includes receiving a communication from a subscriber using a first communication network coupled to at least one other communication network, the communication optionally including a domain identifier associated with a domain on the at least one other communication network, determining whether the subscriber is authorized to access the domain based upon the domain identifier and a list of authorized domains for a virtual circuit used to receive the communication and authorizing subscriber access to the domain when the domain identifier is included in the list. An access server includes a tunnel ID request generator and an authorizer. The tunnel ID request generator generates a tunnel ID request that includes a virtual circuit identifier associated with a virtual circuit used to accept a PPP authentication request. The authorizer grants subscribers domain access based upon a list of authorized domains for the virtual circuit.

US Classification:

709225, 709229, 726 2, 370397

Abstract:

Determining the domain name associated with a virtual circuit may includes receiving, at an Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server, a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) authentication request comprising a unique identifier comprising a virtual channel ID, and determining whether a domain configuration override attribute exists in a virtual circuit profile associated with a DSLAM port used to receive the PPP authentication request. Determining the domain name further includes, if the domain configuration override attribute exists in the virtual circuit profile or if the PPP authentication request does not comprise a domain name, returning a domain name associated with the unique identifier, and if the domain configuration override attribute does not exist in the virtual circuit profile, returning a PPP domain name used in the PPP authentication request.

US Classification:

709203

Abstract:

The disclosed embodiments provide a system that delivers content to an electronic device. The system includes a content provider that obtains a public address of the electronic device from a first request for the content from the electronic device. Next, the content provider uses the public address to identify a local caching server on a local area network (LAN) of the electronic device. Finally, the content provider provides a local address of the local caching server to the electronic device, wherein the local address is used by the electronic device to obtain the content from the local caching server and the LAN without accessing a content delivery network (CDN) outside the LAN.

Abstract:

A first device is configured to establish a connection over a short-range communication link with a second device. The first device may transition to a sleep state, terminate (i) a paging operation and a page scanning operation associated with a paging protocol and (ii) an advertisement scanning operation associated with an advertisement protocol and perform an advertisement broadcast operation associated with the advertisement protocol, the advertisement broadcast operation generating an advertisement to be broadcast at a first interval, wherein the first interval is greater than a second interval for performing advertisement broadcast operations in an active state.

Abstract:

A device providing inter-device call continuity facilitated by a wireless audio output device may include a processor configured to initiate, over a peer-to-peer connection with a second device, a communication session between the second device and a third device. The processor may be further configured to establish, over the peer-to-peer connection with the second device, an audio link corresponding to the communication session. The processor may be further configured to determine, based at least in part on the audio link, that a connection quality of the peer-to-peer connection satisfies a connection degradation condition. The processor may be further configured to request, over a wide area network connection, for the communication session with the third device to be handed-off from the second device to the first device, and to establish, over the wide area network connection, the communication session with the third device.
