A system is disclosed for measuring data utilization attributable to use by an application being executed on a mobile device. The system has a server operable to register the application and transmit information to establish a connection between the application and a proxy server. The system also has a proxy server operable to establish a first connection with the application, receive direction to establish a second connection with a target endpoint, establish the second connection between the proxy server and the target endpoint, pass data between the target endpoint and the application using the established connections, and measure the amount of data passed between the target endpoint and the application.

Providing a mobility key for a communication session for a mobile station includes facilitating initiation of the communication session. A master key for the communication session is established, where the master key is generated at an authentication server in response to authenticating the mobile station. A mobility key is derived from the authentication key at an access node, where the mobility key is operable to authenticate mobility signaling for the communication session.

Requesting a network resource includes facilitating a communication session between a mobile node and an endpoint. A trigger event is received at a first anchor point associated with the mobile node. The trigger event indicates that reservation of a network resource is being requested for the communication session. A second anchor point associated with the endpoint is identified. Reservation of the network resources for the communication sessions is initiated over a tunnel between the first anchor point and the second anchor point.

Performing management operations for a mobile node present in a foreign network includes performing an address management operation and a mobility management operation. The address management operation includes receiving an address request message at a home address server of a home network of the mobile node, assigning a fixed home address to the mobile node, and sending an address acknowledgment message communicating the fixed home address. The mobility management operation includes receiving a registration request message requesting registration for the mobile node, and registering the mobile node in response to the registration request message.
摘要:
A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving a data packet transported on a backhaul link at a first network element; de-capsulating the data packet; identifying whether the data packet is an upstream data packet; identifying whether the data packet matches an internet protocol (IP) access control list (ACL) or a tunnel endpoint identifier; and offloading the data packet from the backhaul link. In more specific embodiment, the method can include identifying that the data packet does not match the IP ACL or the tunnel endpoint identifier; and communicating the data packet to a second network element. In other examples, the method can include identifying that the data packet is a downstream data packet; identifying a service to be performed for the data packet that cannot be performed at the first network element; and communicating the data packet to a second network element.

A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes communicating a message to a remote data plane element in order to request a data plane resource for hosting a session. The method also includes receiving a response at a network element acknowledging the message. Data plane traffic is managed at the remote data plane element based on enforcement rules. The enforcement rules are provisioned in a table element at the remote data plane element, and the table element reflects a portion of a master table element included in the network element.

A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving a data packet transported on a backhaul link at a first network element; identifying whether the data packet is an upstream data packet; identifying whether the data packet matches an internet protocol (IP) access control list (ACL) or a tunnel endpoint identifier; performing a network address translation on the data packet; and offloading the data packet from the backhaul link. In certain implementations, the method can include identifying that the data packet does not match the IP ACL or the tunnel endpoint identifier; and communicating the data packet to a second network element. In other instances, the method can include identifying that the data packet is a downstream data packet; and restoring a tunnel header and tunnel identification based on an IP address of the data packet.

A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes communicating an access request to an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) element. The access request is configured to include an attribute that indicates that a network element can support a particular home agent assignment from amongst a plurality of home agents. The method also includes receiving a response that includes an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a home agent loadbalancer, the response including a key that establishes a secure connection between the network element and the home agent loadbalancer. In other embodiments, the method includes communicating with a foreign agent in order to authenticate user equipment associated with the access request. In addition, the access request can be initiated by user equipment configured to establish a network communication session via the particular home agent.
