Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for instantiating both a private network service (PrNS) gateway virtual network function (VNF) and a public network service (PuNS) gateway VNF for a user equipment (UE) device that is associated with a PrNS and communicatively attached a public WiFi network allow users to access the same set of feature-rich network services (including layer 2 services) when connected through a public hotspot WiFi network as when connected through a home or local area network WiFi network.

Abstract: Systems and network devices configured to use Stateless Address Auto-Configuration (SLAAC) to provide different internet protocol (IP) address information to user equipment (UE) devices that are connected to the same local area network (LAN). A network device (e.g., default router, etc.) may determine whether a UE device is eligible to receive special treatment based on a link-layer address of the UE device. The network device send the UE device an unicast router advertisement that includes a special prefix in response to determining that the UE device is eligible to receive special treatment. The network device may send the UE device an unicast router advertisement that includes a base prefix for the LAN in response to determining that the UE device is not eligible to receive special treatment.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for providing a user equipment (UE) device that is associated with a private network service (PrNS) and communicatively attached a public WiFi network in a remote market being serviced by a different headend than the UE device's home network with public or private network services.

A network device (e.g., default router, etc.) may determine whether a UE device is eligible to receive special treatment based on a link-layer address of the UE device. The network device send the UE device a solicited unicast router advertisement that includes a special prefix in response to determining that the UE device is eligible to receive special treatment based on the link-layer address. The network device may send the UE device a solicited unicast router advertisement that includes a base prefix in response to determining that the UE device is not eligible to receive special treatment based on the link-layer address.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for performing targeted filtering of network traffic generated by user equipment (UE) devices connected to a customer premise device (CPE) in a communication system that includes a distributed residential gateway. A broadband network gateway may be configured to identify a UE device in a local area network (LAN) associated with the CPE that is compromised, misconfigured, or operating outside normal communication parameters. The broadband network gateway may send a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) force renew message via a wide area network (WAN) to the identified UE device in the LAN, generate a DHCP offer message that presents a new Internet protocol (IP) address assignment that is within a range of IP addresses included in a layer 2/3 access list, and send the generated DHCP offer message to the UE device to quarantine the UE device.
