Abstract: Methods and systems for solving the problem of special processing required by various communication network subsystems (e.g., QOS, security, tunneling, etc). In some cases the processing by one communication subsystem may result in modified IP data packets which may affect the application of additional processing of such packets. The methods and systems solve problem by translating filters and setting up additional tunnels or other procedures based on the use case so that all the end and intermediate nodes can do the required processing on modified packets. The methods and systems may take into consideration an overlap or intersection of two or more different types of packet filters. A first set of packet filters is translated to provide the desired packet classification for modified packets. The second set of packet filters may be translated based upon the translation applied to the first set of packet filters.

Abstract: Methods and systems for telecommunication devices to share a network connection between a utility engine and an application. While the outgoing data of the utility engine and the application are merged over the shared network connection, incoming data is filtered via an IP data filter to route utility engine specific data to the utility engine while allowing all other data to pass through for use by the application. Numerous utilities may be supported by different forms of utility engines. Among such utilities include GPS service, where GPS related data may be received from a GPS server and utilized by applications which provide location specific information based on a location determined by the GPS server.
