Abstract: Systems and methods for communications network failure detection and remediation. Exemplary methods include: receiving first communications using a network from a first client, the first communications including an identifier for a user of the first client and a security credential of the user; authenticating the first user using the identifier and the security credential; creating, responsive to the authenticating, a registration for the first client in a registration database, the registration including an address for the first client, the registration being used to route second communications from a second client to the first client; establishing, responsive to the authenticating, a connection to the first client; detecting the connection has failed; and removing, responsive to the detecting, the registration from the registration database.

Abstract: A method for bandwidth sharing is provided. The method may include getting a list of neighboring communications hubs, the neighboring communications hubs being disposed in respective neighboring residences. The neighboring communications hubs may be communicatively coupled to the first communications hub using a first broadband data network provisioned by an Internet Service Provider (ISP), and the neighboring residences may be within a same predetermined geographic region as the first residence or within a predetermined temporal distance on a data network from the first residence. The method determines if a data requirement exceeds bandwidth available to the first communications hub and provides a request for data to a neighboring communications hub. The request corresponds to the data requirement. The method then receives data responsive to the request from the neighboring communications hub.
