Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to providing a network user the ability to travel between different zones or locations within a network environment, such as, for example, a hospitality location, without requiring a user to re-login to the new location, while requiring a user to re-login to other locations within the network environment.

Abstract: The local network connection system (LNCS) is configured to balance the subscriber network traffic. Load balancing of subscriber traffic can be accomplished by logically assigning each subscriber to one of the available Internet Service Provider (ISP) links. The assignment of subscribers can be based on a rule set that determines which ISP to assign to a subscriber. The rule set can be used to balance the load on the network interfaces, the ISPs, and provide failover options for the LNCS. The system can perform network interface monitoring operations in order to determine if one or more of the network interfaces have ISP connections and are available to transport network traffic over a network, such as the Internet.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a system for identifying and directing requests for network services. During operation, the system receives at a network controller a Domain Name System (DNS) query from a client device. The system can determine if the DNS query includes a pre-defined DNS string. Further, if the DNS query includes the pre-defined DNS string, the system identifies a local portal associated with the pre-defined DNS string. Moreover, the system can direct the client device to the local portal.

Abstract: A technique has been devised which may be used to synchronize a receiver clock to a transmitter clock at either end of a transmission network having jitter intrinsic therein. The technique is characterized by a modified least squares linear regressive approach which takes advantage of assumptions particular to such transmission networks. The technique finds advantages in comparison to commonly used phase-locked loop techniques which have long startup phase delays where clocks are not in sync. The modified least squares linear regressive technique of the invention provides excellent isolation of jitter and other timing variations while simultaneously providing for quick startup.
