  • Client addressing and roaming in a wireless network
    Patent number: 9210034
    Abstract: A managed network receives client device requests for network addresses for communications over the managed network and computes a network address for a client device based on a hardware address of the client device, such as the MAC address of the client device, and returns the network address to the client device along with a predetermined gateway address for communications over the managed network with external networks. The MAC address is hashed to the network address that is assigned such that the client address will always receive the same network address whenever it accesses the managed network.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 28, 2008
    Date of Patent: December 8, 2015

  • Client operation for network access
    Patent number: 7852819
    Abstract: A network traffic device for a managed network can operate as a client host, to receive packets from the managed network and forward them to an uplinked external network, thereby operating as a gateway to the uplink network and performing a network address translation (NAT) function for the managed network relative to the uplinked network.
