Abstract: Systems and methods for the preferential selection or blocking of Internet Protocol (IP) version addresses, e.g., IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, are provided. During a process where address or domain name resolution is performed, an entity may access a domain bypass list to ascertain whether or not to proceed with requests utilizing an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or neither. Such a list may be dynamically or manually created and/or updated such that known issues associated with the use of a particular type of IP version address can be avoided for subsequent resolution requests to access network resources such as web pages, DNS entries, etc.

Abstract: A method and system for testing a Local Area Network (LAN) coupled to a satellite network through a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) is disclosed. The method includes: providing a LAN diagnostics tool disposed on the CPE for executing a plurality of tests; receiving, at the LAN diagnostics tool, a test request comprising an execution environment indicator; selecting a test agent based on the execution environment indicator; sending in response to the test request, from the LAN diagnostics tool, the selected test agent; and testing the LAN with communications between the LAN diagnostics tool and the selected test agent being executed on a device connected to the LAN.
