Abstract: A method includes receiving a first message from a device via a network. The method includes determining a device type of the device. In response to determining that the device type satisfies a criterion, sending a second message granting the device limited access to the network subject to a first restriction level that limits bandwidth usage by the device to a first consumption threshold and sending a network access request to a second device associated with an operator of the access point. The method includes receiving a response to the network access request from the second device. The method also includes, responsive to the response indicating to grant the device access to the network subject to a second restriction level, allowing the device access to the network subject to the second restriction level, where the second restriction level limits bandwidth usage by the device to a second consumption threshold that is greater than the first consumption threshold.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining a first analysis of first traffic associated with a first communication device, obtaining a second analysis of second traffic associated with a second communication device, identifying, based on the obtaining of the first analysis and the obtaining of the second analysis, a first handicap to be applied to a first connection associated with the first communication device, and applying the first handicap to the first connection. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a first message from a wireless device via a network. The method includes determining a device type of the wireless device. In response to determining that the device type satisfies a criterion, sending a second message granting the wireless device access to the network subject to a first restriction level and sending a network access request to a second device associated with an operator of the access point. The second message includes a first key to grant the wireless device access to the network subject to the first restriction level. The method includes receiving a response to the network access request from the second device. The method also includes determining, based on the response, based on the response, whether to grant the wireless device access to the network subject to a second restriction level, the second restriction level less restrictive than the first restriction level.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, at an access point of a network, a first message from a wireless device. The method further includes determining a device type of the wireless device. In response to determining that the device type satisfies a criterion, the method includes sending, to the wireless device, a second message granting the wireless device access to the network subject to a first restriction level and sending a network access request to a second device associated with an operator of the access point. The method may further include receiving a response to the network access request from the second device and determining, based on the response, whether to grant the wireless device access to the network subject to a second restriction level.
