  • Patent number: 8881212
    Abstract: A method includes storing, at a first network device configured to communicate with at least one set top box (STB) and at least one digital video recorder (DVR), information identifying parameters associated with bandwidth in a home network. The method may also include receiving, at a first network device in the home network, a request having a corresponding first bandwidth and identifying a class of traffic associated with the request. The method may further include determining whether the first bandwidth is less than an available bandwidth associated with the identified class of traffic, approving the request when the first bandwidth is less than the available bandwidth, and modifying the available bandwidth associated with the identified class of traffic in response to approving the request.

  • Patent number: 8085808
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating automatic configuration of network devices for network services are disclosed. In one of many possible embodiments, a request for information for configuring a network device is received from a requesting device. The request is in a first protocol format. The information is retrieved from a directory subsystem in a second protocol format. The retrieved information is converted from the second protocol format to the first protocol format. The converted information is transmitted in the first protocol format to the requesting device in response to the request.

  • Publication number: 20050192008
    Abstract: A system and method for providing users with granular control over arbitrary information that allows for selective, real-time information sharing in a communications network such as the Internet is provided. In a network including a plurality of network devices operated by a plurality of users, a real-time information exchange system for sharing user profile information between respective users includes a database management system connected to the network. The database management system, which may be distributed across the network, stores the user profile information for a plurality of registered users of the information exchange system The user profile information includes a plurality of data elements, each data element having an associated one of the plurality of registered users. Each data element has an associated group of users to whom access to the data element has been granted, and users not included in the associated group of users are denied access to the data element.
