    Publication number: 20230247536
    Abstract: According to one configuration, a gateway establishes a wireless communication link with a first communication device. The first communication device has access to a remote network via a path including the wireless communication link and a communication link though the gateway. The communication management hardware receives a notification indicating attributes of a wireless interface of the first communication device. The gateway or other suitable entity monitors for presence of wireless communications from the wireless interface advertising availability of a wireless service provided by the first communication device. In response to detecting the availability of or actual use of the wireless service as advertised by a wireless communication transmitted from the first communication device, the gateway controls a bandwidth provided to the first communication device to access the first communication device.
