Methods and apparatus for processing network data transmissions
First Claim
1. A method for providing access to a network via a first one of a plurality of network access nodes in the network, the network access nodes each having a network address associated therewith which is unique on the network, the first network access node having a first network address associated therewith, the method comprising:
- associating the first network address with a first computer while the first computer is connected to the first network access node thereby providing access to the network;
monitoring transmissions associated with the first computer to determine address information; and
processing the transmissions in response to the address information.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are described for providing access to a network via a first one of a plurality of network access nodes in the network. The network access nodes each have a network address associated therewith which is unique on the network, the first network access node having a first network address associated therewith. The first network address is associated with a first computer while the first computer is connected to the first network access node thereby providing access to the network. Transmissions associated with the first computer are monitored to determine address information. The transmissions are then processed in response to the address information.
