Abstract

A visitor based network (VBN) server clustering system comprises a cluster of VBN servers for servicing a single local area network (LAN). Each VBN server comprises a client device data store for creating and maintaining device state records of user devices connected to the LAN, an interface for data communication with the user devices through the LAN, and a network traffic processing unit for processing network traffic from and to the user devices using the device state records in the client device data store. The VBN server further comprises a clustering manager for implementing clustering of the VBN servers by filtering the network traffic from and to the one or more user devices based on the configuration settings of the VBN servers and the device state records so as to allow the network traffic processing unit to process only a filtered portion of the network traffic. The filtering of the network traffic partitions the network traffic so that each user device is processed by a single one of the VBN servers within the cluster at a given time.

Abstract

An authorization assisting device sends to the VBN server an authorization request for access to the WAN by a requesting user device. A registration driver has a set of assignable IP address ranges for multiple routing realms, and assigns an IP address to a user device from a relevant IP address range depending on a routing realm from which communication from the user device is received. The assignable IP address ranges include one or more authorization address ranges from which the registration driver assigns an IP address to a user device whose authorization request is received from the authorization assisting device. An authorization module processes the authorization request to generate an authorization response granting or denying access to the WAN by the requesting user device based on registration data in a registration data store and the information in the authorization request.

Abstract

A packet throttling system is provided for a network head-end device having CPUs and an operating system having interrupt handling code to implement interrupt handlers in one or more of the CPUs for processing interrupts. The packet throttling system comprises a CPU interrupt load examiner, throttling period calculator and interrupt handier terminator. The CPU interrupt load examiner examines, for each of the CPUs, a current CPU interrupt load which is a proportion of a CPU's time that is being spent servicing any interrupt handlers. The throttling period calculator calculates a throttling period for each of the CPUs based on the current CPU interrupt load. The throttling period is a period between permitted packet receptions for the CPU. The interrupt handler terminator terminates a packet reception interrupt handier handling a packet reception interrupt in a receiving CPU if the throttling period of the receiving CPU has not elapsed since the receiving CPU handled a last permitted received packet.

Abstract

A network server provisioning at least one Local Area Network (LAN) comprising a client entry store, a packet driver module, a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) request handler. The LAN has one or more routing realms. The client entry store stores records representing a user device connecting to the LAN provisioned by the network server as a roaming visitor of the LAN to gain temporal access to an outside network through the LAN, and records representing one or more routing realm top-level devices provided on a top level of each routing realm of the LAN. The packet driver module inspects packets arriving from and directed to the user device, and interacts with the client entry store to process the packets. The DHCP request handler examines address data in DHCP packets received from the user device and the records in the client entry store. At least one of the packet driver module and the DHCP request handler detects roaming between routing realms by the user device based on the data of the packets and the records in the client entry store, and assigns a new Internet Protocol (IP) address to the user device when roaming by the user device is detected.
