Abstract: A network device includes a memory and a processor. The processor implements at least one classifier to provide classification for tunneled IPinIP traffic based on classification parameters provided by Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) classification encoding, Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) classification encoding, and Transport Control Protocol/User Datagram Protocol (TCP/UDP) classification encodings, wherein one of the IPv6 classification encoding and the IPv4 classification encoding is provided by extension information to provide extended classification capabilities. The processor uses the at least one classifier to compare the classification parameters provided by the IPv6 classification encoding, the IPv4 classification encoding, and the TCP/UDP classification encodings to fields in an IPv6 header, an IPv4 header, and a TCP/UDP header of the IPinIP packet. Based on the comparison, the processor maps the IPinIP packet to a service flow identified by the classification parameters.

Abstract: An electronic device in a network capable of enhancing transmission efficiency of other electronic devices in the network is provided. The electronic device includes a network interface, a non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon, and a hardware processor. The hardware processor is configured to execute the instructions to request transmission of data from another electronic device in the wireless network. Moreover, the hardware processor is configured to execute the instructions to receive, using the network interface, the data from the other electronic device using a first protocol, and determine a condition of a transmission delay of the data. In response to determining the condition of the transmission delay, an instruction is transmitted to the other electronic device to retransmit the data using a second protocol. The data is received from the other electronic device using the second protocol.

Abstract: A multi-modal portal system provides an authorization prior to establishing a visual interface connection between a support user or caller and a client user or receiving party. Once the caller is authorized, the caller is permitted to drop-in such that a visual interface connection is established with the receiving party. The authorization can be based on a profile configuration that indicates whether the caller has the credentials required for the visual interface. The authorization can require that a notification be sent to a trusted user or primary contact or the caller can be associated with a profile configuration that allows for a pre-authorization without requiring the notification. By providing such an authorization, a secure and private visual interface with the client user can be accomplished without requiring an express action or consent by the client user.

Abstract: A wireless gateway for steering a client device between content streaming apparatuses in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The gateway provides an access point (GW AP) including a gateway steering controller configured to determine whether a client device should be steered to a content streaming apparatus based on at least one sample measurement on received signal strength between the client device and the content streaming apparatus and at least one other content streaming apparatus, and conduct steering logic calculations. The steering logic calculations are compared against predetermined thresholds, and said gateway steering controller provides an instruction to steer the client device to one of the content streaming apparatuses based on a difference between the steering logic calculations and the predetermined thresholds. Optionally, the gateway steering controller may also provide band steering as well as signal strength steering.

Abstract: A system and method for generating an audio prompt in response to the actuation of a button on a remote-control button. This audio prompt provides aural feedback to a user that may impaired from discerning the functionality of buttons upon a remote control. This impairment may be environmental (poor lighting) or a consequence of the physical condition of the user (poor eyesight). A particular embodiment of the system and method enables audio feedback to be generated prior to the execution of any command associated with an actuated button, thereby permitting a user to take corrective action if the button was actuated inadvertently.
