Publication number: 20250106158Abstract: Systems and methods for provisioning and validating a network are disclosed. One method can comprise providing a first communication tunnel between a network access point and a first tunnel endpoint. Availability of the first tunnel endpoint can be determined. If the first tunnel endpoint is determined to be available, network traffic can be routed to the first tunnel endpoint. If the first tunnel endpoint is determined to be unavailable, a second communication tunnel between the network access point and a second tunnel endpoint can be provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2024Publication date: March 27, 2025Inventors: Thomas William Lynn, Jr., Phillip Andrew Sanderson, Brad A. Hilgenfeld

Patent number: 12238635Abstract: Systems and methods for provisioning and managing a network are disclosed. One method can comprise determining location information of one or more access points and selecting a routing device based upon the location information. Communication can be established between the one or more access points and the select routing device to define a mobility group comprising the one or more access points.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2023Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Thomas William Lynn, Yash Lachmandas Khemani, Henry Lu, Phillip Andrew Sanderson

Publication number: 20240236679Abstract: Methods and systems are described for generating and utilizing a pattern of association. The pattern of association can comprise information that indicates to which of a plurality of network devices one or more mobile devices are likely to connect. The pattern of association can comprise information that indicates an order of association. The pattern of association can be associated with one or more factors which can be any information that provides insight into the pattern of association. The pattern of association can be used to identify a next network device that a mobile device will transition to, based on which network device the mobile device is currently connected to. Data, such as authentication information, can be pushed to the identified next network device to reduce network connectivity issues that may occur by transitioning between network devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2023Publication date: July 11, 2024Inventors: Ivan Ong, Phillip Andrew Sanderson, Thomas William Lynn, JR.
