    摘要: A first device may establish a connection with a second device, and may provide a connection check RPC message to the second device. The first device may receive a verification RPC message from the second device, and may provide, to the second device, a sync domains RPC request that includes a first list of active domains with associated address pools. The first device may receive, from the second device, a sync domains RPC response that includes threshold values for the active domains included in the first list of active domains, and may provide, to the second device, a sync pools RPC request that includes a first list of address pools associated with the active domains. The first device may receive, from the second device, a sync pools RPC response that includes confirmation of the first list of address pools, and may allocate addresses of an address pool to a CPE.

    摘要: The disclosed technology is directed towards locating and counting unused nodes, such as free Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) address blocks. A hierarchical structure of nodes is created from an origin block to a specified lower level, and the hierarchical structure is processed using mapping and eliminating to locate free nodes. A first node group comprises node(s) in use, a second node group identifies intermediate subnets between the first node of the first node group and the specified origin block, and a third node group identifies any subnets hierarchically below node(s) in use. Unused (free) node count information is obtained based on nodes below the origin block that are not in the first node group, the second node group, or the third node group.

    摘要: This application discloses an address management method for a virtual broadband gateway (vBNG) in which a user plane and a control plane are separated. A user plane device receives a first packet that includes a private address of a terminal, the user plane device is provided with a public address pool and/or a port number corresponding to each public address in the public address pool. The user plane device generates address translation information of the terminal, where the address translation information of the terminal includes the private address, a public address in the public address pool, and a port number range, the address translation information of the terminal is used by the user plane device to translate an address of a service packet, and the service packet is a packet from the terminal or a packet to be sent to the terminal.

    摘要: A method in which a communication device can be configured with a MAC address so that when the user logs into a network environment using a communication device from among a number of communication devices a MAC address is assigned to the user and is specific to the user. The MAC address assignment can be used for pairing with a communication device assigned to the user (e.g. a near-field communication device). A database containing MAC addresses can be connected to communication devices through a network and can provide user-specific MAC addresses that are readable into or otherwise transmittable to a predetermined communication device when a user logs into the network. The database can be managed by a server or other computer device of the network.
