Abstract: A first throughput value is determined comprising a first total amount of data transmitted in non-final data packets from a sending network element to a wireless device and a second total amount of data in final data packets transmitted to the wireless device during a time period. A second throughput value is determined comprising the first total amount of data transmitted in non-final data packets to the wireless device during the time period less an idle time of a wireless communication link between an access node and the wireless device during the time period and less a total time to deliver the final data packets. A difference of the first throughput value and the second throughput value is calculated, and a traffic management procedure is performed when the difference of the first throughput value and the second throughput value meets a throughput threshold.

Abstract: Method of routing data over a network in which contact is made with a home network to determine the reported geo-position, using this geo-position to transmit data to the device over a path through a node in which the node reads the geo-position, accesses a list of possible recipients and their geo-positions, compares its location to the positions, selects a recipient based at least in part on the proximity of the recipient to the device, and transmits the data over the best path. Eventually, the device becomes the recipient. A geo-position may be transmitted as part of an IP address, or as geo-position data or XML tagged geo-position information contained in a data packet or IP addressed message or IP addressed voice calls (VoIP). The geo-position information can be generated from a GPS receiver. This method and/or IP address may be used in a method of doing business in which the geo-position is used to identify the source and location for delivery.
