摘要:
A method and system facilitates enhanced communication between a LAN and a WAN by determining which IP device of the LAN is a gateway and then restricting communication between the LAN and the WAN such that the communication is routed through the gateway. Determining which IP device of the LAN is a gateway can comprise using DHCP protocol to implement a provisioning and setup flow between a WAN bridge and gateway. By restricting communication between the LAN and the WAN such that it is routed through the gateway, features of the gateway such as a firewall and/or parental controls, can be advantageously utilized.

In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) apparatus includes a first communications unit and a processing unit. The first communications unit sends and receives message packets over a wide area network (WAN), and the processing unit controls the sending and receiving of message packets through the first communications unit. The sending and receiving of message packets comprises network traffic, while each packet has a packet size corresponding to an amount of WAN network utilization for each packet. The processing unit is adapted to measure, report, and limit the amount of WAN network utilization.

A packet-based communications system is provided, including: a client communications module for transmitting digital audio signals to a user interface device over a local area network (LAN) and for receiving digital audio signals from the user interface device, a voice packet module, and a network protocol module for transmitting data packets between the voice packet module and an Internet Protocol (IP) network. The voice packet module is configured to: receive audio signals from the client communications module and encapsulate the audio signals into data packets; convert data packets into audio signals and transmit the audio signals to the client communications module. A communications device is provided, including: a microphone; a speaker; a user input device; a network interface for coupling the communications device to a local area network (LAN); an audio processing module comprising an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for converting analog audio signals from the microphone into a digital audio signal and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for converting a digital audio signal into an analog audio signal, said analog signal being output by the speaker; and an endpoint communications module for connecting to a telephony adapter on the LAN via the network interface, said endpoint communications module communicating digital audio signals with the telephony adapter over the LAN.

A method, system and device for deterring spam on a communication medium are disclosed. The method includes detecting a call with a device for accessing the communication medium, wherein calls thereon include Internet Protocol traffic. The device includes an interface for allowing a user of to flag the call as a spam call (e.g., SPIT, SPIM, etc). Upon the flag, a signaling message associated with the call is accessed. The signaling message is stored as information relating to spam call sources. Upon detecting a subsequent call, a signaling message associated with the subsequent call is compared with the information relating to spam call sources. Upon a match between the signaling message associated with the subsequent call and the information relating to spam call sources, the subsequent call is blocked.

Methods and systems are provided for enabling a service provider to manage a service node that is separated from the service provider by a firewall. A dual-mode mobile device establishes separate secure connections with the service provider and the service node. The mobile device can then serve as a bridge between the service provider and the service node so that a secure management session can be initiated between the service provider and the service node. A method of managing a service node includes: establishing a first secure connection between a dual-mode mobile device and the service node; establishing a second secure connection between the dual-mode mobile device and a remote system; and initiating a secure management session between the service node and the remote system via the first secure connection and the second secure connection.

In one embodiment, a VoIP device operable to estimate an upstream data rate for a network device is provided. The VoIP device includes a transceiver operable to transmit VoIP packets to and receive VoIP packets from the network device; and a logic engine configured to initiate a series of simulated VoIP streams through the network device to a VoIP call destination, the logic engine being further configured to determine when at least one of the simulated VoIP streams in the series is unsuccessful, the logic engine being further configured to estimate the upstream data rate for the network device based upon a data rate for those simulated VoIP streams preceding the unsuccessful simulated VoIP stream.
