摘要： VoIP verification is initiated by subscriber-side test VoIP appliance, or VoIP proxy agent. Test VoIP appliance is coupled to test node over a communications internetwork by upstream and downstream datapaths. VoIP verification request is transmitted to test node. Responsively, test node transmits VoIP verification signal to test VoIP appliance. Perceivable indication of verification signal received by VoIP appliance is effected by visual display, audible indication, or both. Operational state verifier apparatus is disposed in a digital telephony device, a computer terminal, or with an ATA interface coupled to analog telephony device used in VoIP communications system.

摘要： Methods and systems for deterring spam on a communication medium are disclosed. Call traffic on the communication medium includes IP telephone calls, IM™ messages and other IP calls. The method includes detecting a call with a user device for accessing the communication medium, such as an IP telephone, a computer, etc. A signaling message associated with the call is accessed and compared with information relating to identities that correspond to originators of spam calls sent over said communication medium, which is stored in a repository associated with the communication medium, such as a dynamically updatable database. Where no match is found between the signaling message and the stored spam call identity information, the call is routed to the user. Where the signaling message matches any said spam call originator identity information however, the call is deterred from being routed to the user.

摘要： A method and system for remotely managing a bridge device, such as a modem, are disclosed. Management traffic from a service provider can be communicated to a bridge device which lacks a public IP address by sending the management traffic through the bridge device to a router of a LAN. The router then sends the management traffic back to the bridge device. Thus, the service provider can perform management tasks such as troubleshooting, health monitoring, accounting, provisioning, security and firmware upgrades in a manner that is transparent to the user.

摘要： Client adapter and method simplify security deployment in an EPN, including the shared services electrical power lines of a premises. With direct coupling, piggybacked adapter receives network signals and electrical from EPN-connected first adapter through a shared medium port. An authenticating adapter exchanges security management services and information with supplicant adapter. Two or more adapters may be piggybacked. Piggybacked adapters exchange security management service information without rogue intrusion. Exchanged information, stored, is later used to communicate securely. Defined adjacency (neighborhood) information can be exchanged, and a neighborhood established on an EPN, where one authorized neighbors securely communicate.
