    Abstract: A first router obtains a first network address of a first local area network (LAN) implemented by a second router and a first subnet mask associated with the first LAN. The first router causes the establishment of a secure communications channel with the second router. The first router determines that a computing device seeks to join the first LAN. The first router obtains an internet protocol (IP) address that has a same network address as the first network address and sends, to the computing device, the IP address and the first subnet mask for use by the computing device.

    Abstract: Obtaining location metadata for network devices using augmented reality (AR) is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an AR computing device receives first user inputs indicating boundary points of a device region, and determines first spatial coordinates for each boundary point. The AR computing device next receives a second user input that indicates a network device within the device region, and determines second spatial coordinates for the network device. The AR computing device may also correlate the network device with a known connected network device. The AR computing device then transmits, to a server computing device, first metadata that includes the first spatial coordinates and an identifier of the device region, and second metadata that includes the second spatial coordinates and an identifier of the indicated network device. In some embodiments, the metadata may be employed, e.g., to generate a floorplan visualization and/or a signal strength map of the device region.

    Abstract: Event-driven Internet of Things (IoT) abstraction using rules is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a network computing device that provides an IoT management (IoTM) service is communicatively coupled to an IoT device. The IoTM service receives multiple rules, each of which comprises an event identifier that identifies an event that the IoT device is capable of emitting, and an action identifier that identifies an action to be performed by the IoTM service (e.g., a command to be issued to the IoT device or an operation to be performed by the IoTM service). Upon receiving a first event emitted by the IoT device, the IoTM service identifies a first rule of the plurality of rules based on a first event identifier of the first rule that matches the first event. The IoTM service then executes a first action, wherein a first action identifier of the first rule identifies the first action.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for access point device recovery and management using mobile devices. The method includes providing, by a mobile device to an access point device via a service provider system, authentication details of the mobile device, establishing a secure wireless connection using the authentication details between the access point device and the mobile device upon receiving, by the mobile device, an indication of failure of a network connection between the service provider system and the access point device, sending, by the mobile device to the access point device over the secure wireless connection, a configuration instruction, receiving, by the mobile device from the access point device over the secure wireless connection, confirmation of the configuration instruction, and disconnecting the secure connection upon successful application of the configuration instruction.

    Abstract: Implementing network constraint exceptions on a per device basis is disclosed. A network manager determines that a subscriber device associated with a subscriber network is to be granted an exception to a network constraint of the subscriber network. An aggregation device that is coupled to a set of subscriber networks including the subscriber network is sent aggregation device instructions to grant the exception to packets associated with the subscriber device that flow through the aggregation device. A network gateway device that serves as a network gateway for the subscriber network is sent gateway device instructions to associate packets associated with the subscriber device with information for identifying the packets as being associated with the subscriber device.
