A method of load balancing network access requests comprises receiving a network access request from a serving node linked to a radio access network. The network access request identifies a mobile node receiving wireless service from the radio access network and identifies a data network to which the mobile node has requested access. The network access request requests a communication channel with the serving node for transporting data communications between the mobile node and the data network. The method further comprising determining one or more gateways providing access to the data network, selecting one of the gateways, and forwarding the network access request to the selected gateway.

A system is disclosed for measuring data utilization attributable to use by an application being executed on a mobile device. The system has a server operable to register the application and transmit information to establish a connection between the application and a proxy server. The system also has a proxy server operable to establish a first connection with the application, receive direction to establish a second connection with a target endpoint, establish the second connection between the proxy server and the target endpoint, pass data between the target endpoint and the application using the established connections, and measure the amount of data passed between the target endpoint and the application.

A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving a request to authenticate an end user in a service provider network, and evaluating the request to identify the end user as belonging to an enterprise network. A tag is generated for a packet associated with a flow for the end user in the enterprise network. Routing occurs for subsequent packets associated with the flow between the enterprise network and the end user. The subsequent packets associated with the flow are not routed through the service provider network. In more particular embodiments, the end user is authenticated in the enterprise network after being authenticated in the service provider network. In addition, traffic for the end user can be separated based on one or more tags identified within the flow. A plurality of flows can be classified based on a customer identification (CID). The tag can be a virtual local area network (VLAN) tag generated at a base station.

Routing a packet flow in a communication session includes facilitating a communication session between a first endpoint and a second endpoint. A permanent anchor of a home network receives path offers sent by the first endpoint. An optimized path offer corresponds to an optimized path passing through a transient anchor of a visited network and bypassing the permanent anchor. A default path offer corresponds to a default path passing through the permanent anchor. The permanent anchor determines whether packet flows between the first endpoint and the second endpoint are to be routed along the optimized path. The default path offer is removed if the packet flows are to be routed along the optimized path. The optimized path offer is removed if not. The remaining path offer is forwarded to the second endpoint.

A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes identifying a bandwidth parameter associated with a network link. The method includes evaluating a bandwidth request associated with user equipment, the bandwidth request is associated with a session, which involves the user equipment and which implicates the network link. The bandwidth request can be modified based on the bandwidth parameter that was identified. In more detailed embodiments, one or more header extensions in one or more packets are evaluated in order to assist in identifying the bandwidth parameter. The one or more header extensions can include a selected one of packet sequence numbers, an average packet transmission rate, an average packet receiving rate, and a packet reception error rate. In other examples, modifying the bandwidth request can include downgrading the bandwidth request to lower a bit rate based on the bandwidth parameter identified for the network link.

Performing management operations for a mobile node present in a foreign network includes performing an address management operation and a mobility management operation. The address management operation includes receiving an address request message at a home address server of a home network of the mobile node, assigning a fixed home address to the mobile node, and sending an address acknowledgment message communicating the fixed home address. The mobility management operation includes receiving a registration request message requesting registration for the mobile node, and registering the mobile node in response to the registration request message.

Routing a packet flow in a communication session includes facilitating a communication session between a first endpoint and a second endpoint. A packet flow from the first endpoint is received at a transient anchor of a visited network. The transient anchor establishes whether the packet flow is to be routed along an optimized path according to one or more routing rules. The packet flow is sent to the second endpoint if the packet flow is to be routed along the optimized path. The packet flow is forwarded to a permanent anchor of a home network if the packet flow is not to be routed along the optimized path.

A method for creating an accounting record in a policy server in a communication network. The method also includes receiving policy data from one or more application layer elements. The method includes receiving accounting data from one or more lower layer elements, such that the accounting data is associated with the policy data. The method also includes consolidating the accounting data and the policy data received.
