  • Classifying client devices in a network
    Patent number: 9596154
    Abstract: One or more devices may receive attribute information identifying multiple attributes associated with a client device; classify the client device based on the attribute information; and provide, based on classifying the client device, classification information to a network device to cause the network device to associate a particular policy set, of multiple policy sets, with the client device. The classification information may identify a classification of the client device. The particular policy set may be based on the classification of the client device and may include an instruction used to process a data flow provided to or provided from the client device.

  • Boundary-less M2M service layer
    Patent number: 9307040
    Abstract: A system may include a boundary-less machine-to-machine (“M2M”) service layer, which may reside between an application layer and a core network layer. The boundary-less M2M service layer may allow M2M applications to interact with multiple applications (e.g., multiple M2M applications, multiple non-M2M applications, or a mix of both). The boundary-less M2M service layer may also allow M2M devices and applications to interact over various types of networks, such as wireless and wireline networks.
