Abstract: A method for providing a differentiated feature to a first user equipment (UE) connected to a local area network (LAN) implemented by a router connected to a customer premises equipment (CPE) provisioned with a default feature associated with a first service tier of a plurality of service tiers provided by an internet service provider includes obtaining data indicating the first UE has connected to the LAN and determining the first UE is eligible for a second service tier of the different tiers. In response to determining the first UE is eligible for the second service tier, the method includes causing the CPE to be dynamically provisioned for a differentiated service associated with the second service tier. The method includes sending a message to the router to configure the router to provide the differentiated feature to the first UE.

Abstract: Various embodiments comprise systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms and apparatus for caching and sharing client/device keys, session keys, and so on between APs of overlapping wireless networks operated by same or different wireless local areal network (WLAN) operators via one or more Neighbor Key Cache Servers (NKCSs) configured to store client device or session key data for client devices overlapping network boundaries so as to facilitate fast reauthentication between presently serving and target access points (APs) of the same or different WLAN operators. Neighbor reports data may comprise data based on WLAN/SSID from APs associated with each of a plurality of AP home regions and/or realm/Network Access Identifiers from APs associated with an overlapping network of a different WLAN operator.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for performing targeted filtering of network traffic generated by user equipment (UE) devices connected to a customer premise equipment (CPE) device in a communication system that includes a distributed residential gateway. A network server may determine that the communication system includes a UE device that is compromised, misconfigured, or operating outside normal communication parameters, identify the UE device, determine an Internet protocol (IP) address or a media access control (MAC) address of the identified UE device, generate a quarantine request message that includes the IP address or the MAC address of the identified UE device in response to determining that the preconfigured virtual local area network access control list (VACL) on the CPE lists source IP addresses from which the CPE will filter outbound traffic, and send the generated quarantine request message to a bridged residential gateway (BRG) associated with the CPE device.
