Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that provide a novel functional, computerized testing framework for an integrated, unified standard testbed for network (e.g., WiFi) devices. In some aspects, the disclosed framework involves components referred to as OpenSync Reference Testbed (OSRT) and Unified Standard Testbed (USTB). OSRT provides a reference testbed for end-to-end (E2E) system testing for firmware release verification (FRV) and for functional unit testing (FUT). USTB corresponds to standard devices, software images, wiring schemes, and the process for setting up and running a functional testbed for networked devices. In some embodiments, OSRT can include a fully assembled USTB with a predetermined number (e.g., three (3)) of reference extenders, which can allow for the testing configuration and functionality discussed herein. The disclosed framework can provide novel functionality for testing, verifying and configuring network equipment and connections for a particular and/or set of software stacks.

Abstract: A method, implemented in a router in a Communication Service Provider (CSP) network, includes connecting to a device via at least two connections where a first connection includes a first Wide Area Network (WAN) interface and a second connection includes a second WAN interface; receiving an encapsulated packet from one of the at least two connections where the encapsulated packet is destined for an Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) address on the Internet; and creating an IPv4 packet from the encapsulated packet by de-encapsulating the encapsulated packet and including an IPv4 public address in an IPv4 packet, wherein the IPv4 public address is associated with the router.

Abstract: A Wi-Fi network includes one or more Wi-Fi access points each comprising circuitry configured to: provide a plurality of virtual networks including a home network and a work network, each of the plurality of virtual networks being segmented in terms of visibility, connect to a corporate network via one or more secure tunnels, connect to one or more user devices, and route traffic for the one or more user devices based on which particular virtual network the one or more user devices are connected on.
