Abstract: A method performed by a network device may include obtaining an Internet Protocol address and a user device identifier associated with a user device, determining that the obtained user device identifier does not match a previous user device identifier associated with the obtained Internet Protocol address, and monitoring packets destined for the obtained Internet Protocol address to determine whether the packets are associated with a streaming application, based on determining that the obtained user device identifier does not match the previous user device identifier. The method may further include detecting a packet destined for the obtained Internet Protocol address, where the packet is associated with a streaming application and where the packet is received from a particular network device and signaling the particular network device to stop sending packets associated with the streaming application and destined for the obtained Internet Protocol address.

Abstract: A device receives roaming information associated with a user equipment (UE), a current eNodeB conducting a current Internet protocol (IP) session with the UE, and a plurality of eNodeBs that are neighboring the current eNodeB. The device also selects, based on the roaming information and from the plurality of eNodeBs, an optimal eNodeB to which to handover the UE, and establishes a preemptive IP session with the optimal eNodeB. The device further initiates a handover of the current IP session and the UE from the current eNodeB to the optimal eNodeB, where the current eNodeB acts as an anchoring point for a bearer path associated with the UE during the handover.

The first user device may send the data to the first server via a network device without user interaction, and the data may relate to activity associated with the first user device. The first server is further configured to determine a status, associated with the first user device, based on the data, store information regarding the status, receive permissions for the information regarding the status of the first user device, apply the permissions for the information regarding the status to form an advertised status, and send the advertised status to the network device. The network device may be capable of sending the advertised status to a client device or a second user device based on the permissions.

Abstract: A system is configured to receive an alert status, associated with a first user device, based on the first user device connecting with a mobile alert device, where the alert status is associated with an instruction to prevent calls from being sent to the first user device, and where the alert status indicates that a user, associated with the first user device, is operating a vehicle. The system is configured to receive a call instruction from a second user device, where the call instruction includes an instruction to place a call from the second user device to the first user device. The system is further configured to send the alert status to the second user device, based on receiving the alert status and the call instruction.

Abstract: A network device receives an Ethernet frame sent from an originating device toward a destination device, determines whether the frame includes an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) payload, and determines whether the frame is one of an ingress frame or an egress frame for a virtual local area network (VLAN). The network device determines a VLAN tag for the frame when the frame is an ingress frame and inserts the VLAN tag in a portion of a source internet protocol (IP) address field or a destination IP address field of the IPv6 payload, when the frame is an ingress frame. The network device extracts a VLAN tag from a portion of the source IP address field or a destination IP address field of the IPv6 payload, when the frame is an egress frame. The frame is then output to one of the VLAN or the destination device.
