  • Patent number: 9942161
    Abstract: The embodiments relate to configuring and updating quality of service (QOS) features for a router, especially for routers used in a home network or local area network. The QOS features are autonomous and do not require user configuration or intervention. The QOS features may be triggered during periods of congestion. Popular traffic services, such as voice, video streaming, and gaming, are preloaded into the router so that they are recognized automatically. In some embodiments, the router employs a programmed table to identify traffic sessions. The table may be updated remotely by an update service. The table may also be updated locally by a user via a client coupled to the router.

  • Patent number: 9935956
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of limiting access time to a computer network for client computing devices may comprise disposing an access controlling device such as router between the computer network and the client computing devices such that the client computing devices can only access the network through the access controlling device, at least while within an area of coverage thereof. A unique identifier may be stored for client computing devices whose access to the network is to be limited and a selectable allowable cumulative network access time period may be stored for at least some of these client computing devices. Using at least the unique identifiers, the cumulative network usage time may be tracked for each of the client computing devices. The access controlling device may then prevent further network access to those client computing devices whose tracked cumulative network usage time exceeds the selectable allowable cumulative network access time period.

  • Publication number: 20170142021
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to quality of service (QOS) features for a router. The router may determine whether a congestion level of a first interface of the set of network interfaces exceeds a threshold level. Responsive to the congestion level exceeding the threshold level, the router activates a traffic analyzer configured to identify a first session that is present in the data traffic and inserts a set of packets that are part of the first session into a first queue of the set of queues via an expedited communications path over a bus. The router also forwards the set of packets in accordance with the desired quality of service.
