A method is described to configure a connection between at least one Home Internet Protocol Plug, HIPP, located at a subscriber side and a Home Internet Protocol Plug Controller, HIPP-C, located in an access network, both connected via a Digital Subscriber Line, DSL, a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer, DSLAM, and the access network with each other, wherein at least a Network Address Port Translation function, NAPT, and/or at least a Network Address Translation function, NAT, takes place between the HIPP and the HIPP-C, comprising the steps of: acquisition of a HIPP information when a HIPP is going online wherein the HIPP information comprises at least a layer two address of the HIPP, providing said HIPP information to the HIPP-C, configuration of at least the NAT and/or the NAPT functions between the HIPP and the HIPP-C by the HIPP-C considering said HIPP information, in order to receive a connection in which the HIPP-C is enabled to initialize a communication between the HIPP-C and the HIPP, wherein the acquisition of the HIPP information, their providing to the HIPP-C and also the configuration of the NAT and/or NAPT functions by the HIPP-C takes place before the HIPP tries to contact the HIPP-C.

A local communication layer is placed in communication with a remote communication layer via a communication link established between a local modem and a remote modem. The communication layers may, for instance, be PPP layers. The communication is then interrupted, for example, by being temporarily paused or being placed on hold. In one scenario, the communication is placed on hold by the remote modem, as a result of a call-waiting alert received by the remote modem. After the communication has been placed on hold, the local modem monitors PPP frames from the local PPP layer and spoofs the local PPP layer by way of responses to the local PPP layer requests as if such responses were made by the remote PPP layer.

A system provides computer network access to PPP clients. The system includes (a) receiving a PPP session creation request from a client, the PPP session creation request including a control protocol frame encapsulated therein, (b) obtaining user domain information associated with the PPP session creation request, (c) setting up a Layer 2 tunnel according to a parameter contained in the control protocol frame, (d) creating an ingress PPP object associated with an incoming PPP session, a host object associated with the client, and an egress PPP object associated with the Layer 2 tunnel, (e) creating an egress IP object based upon obtained user domain information, the egress IP object associated with IP-based forwarding, (f) linking the ingress PPP object, the host object, and the egress PPP object, thereby forwarding data packets from a PPP session with the client over the Layer 2 tunnel, and (g) linking the host object and the egress IP object, thereby forwarding IP frames received from the client over a link other than the Layer 2 tunnel.

A packet transfer apparatus for accommodating a plurality of hosts to transfer packets between the plurality of hosts and an ISP network. Upon receipt of a connection authentication request from a host, the packet transfer apparatus transmits ID and password information (information required for authentication) included in the request to an authentication server in the ISP network, acquires IP address information for the host from the authentication server, and notifies a DNS server in the ISP network of the IP address information, and previously registered domain name information of the host.

A communication device of the present invention performs communication over a network where a session is identified based on a source address set in a frame. The communication device comprises an interface unit for connecting to the network, a management unit for managing a plurality of addresses, a request unit for transmitting a frame including a session establishment request to an authenticator system provided on the network through said interface unit, and an address setting unit for setting one of the plurality of addresses managed by said management unit as a source address of the frame including the session establishment request.

According to the invention there is provided a computer implemented method for provisioning broadband service in a Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) network. A PPPoE session is established, and a username is randomly chosen from a list of usernames stored on a modem. An authentication request is then transmitted from the modem to a Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) over a PPPoE network. The BRAS subsequently load balances the authentication request between the multiple Broadband Service Nodes (BSNs) and transmits the authentication request to one of the multiple BSNs determined by the load balancing. The modem then receives authorization from at least one of the multiple BSNs. The authorization preferably comprises a temporary dynamic Internet Protocol (IP) address. Full configuration details, including a static IP address, are then obtained from an Internet Service Provider (ISP). The invention also provides a system and computer program product for performing the above.

In one embodiment of the invention, browser plug-in includes a personal content tunnel (PCT) object processor, a PCT resolution module, and a server interface. The PCT object processor processes a PCT object returned by a content server in response to a request from a client. The PCT object contains PCT information. The PCT resolution module resolves a service uniform resource identifier (URI) using the PCT information according to a PCT resolution protocol. The service URI identifies a PCT resolution server. The server interface receives a content URI and a PCT termination point resolved by the PCT resolution server.

A primary LNS, a peer LNS and a LAC are coupled to each other via a network A CPE is coupled to the LAC. A first tunnel is established between the CPE and the LAC using the network and information is transmitted through the first tunnel. A determination is made as to whether the primary LNS is overloaded or inoperative. State information is offloaded from the primary LNS to the peer LNS. If the primary LNS is inoperative or overloaded, a second tunnel is established from the CPE to the peer LNS using the state information. Information is transmitted though the second tunnel.

Methods, configured storage media, and systems are provided for communications using two or more disparate networks in parallel to provide load balancing across network connections, greater reliability, and/or increased security. A controller provides access to two or more disparate networks in parallel, through direct or indirect network interfaces. When one attached network fails, the failure is sensed by the controller and traffic is routed through one or more other disparate networks. When all attached disparate networks are operating, one controller preferably balances the load between them.

An access provider technician can inquire, from a remote location, a status of an upper-layer communication indicator. For example, a technician, after receiving a trouble call from an end-user, can ask the end-user the visual status of the upper-layer communication indicator. Next, the technician can enter the status into data storage, for example, an electronic job ticket. A first set of actions is performed if the status indicates valid communication. A second set of actions is performed if the status indicates invalid communication. The upper-layer communication indicator indicates a high layer communication status, for example, layer 3 of the OSI model, such as a Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) authentication status.
