Mobile carrier capability
First Claim
1. A method for use in managing delivery of content over a network, comprising:
- receiving a network address associated with a carrier gateway;
determining information about a network carrier service provider associated with the network address;
determining a percent likelihood that the carrier gateway is configured to provide services to a mobile device based on the determined information about the network carrier service provider;
receiving a request from the carrier gateway;
determining a response to the request based, in part, on the percent likelihood that the carrier gateway is configured to provide services to a mobile device; and
providing the determined response to the carrier gateway.

Abstract
A network device and method are directed towards determining whether a carrier gateway is likely to be associated with a mobile carrier service. Content/service providers receive request for content along with a network address of a gateway device providing the request. If the network address is unknown, the content/service provider may be provided to a new gateway identifier that is configured to determine a likelihood that the gateway device is configured to provide services to mobile devices. Based, in part, on the determined likelihood, a gateway device'"'"'s capability may also be determined, such that the content/service provider may then select to provide a response, degrade a response, or reject a request for the content, service, or the like.

8. A network device for managing delivery of content over a network, comprising:
-
a transceiver to send and receive data over the network; and a processor that is operative to perform actions, including; receiving a network address associated with a carrier gateway; determining information about a network carrier service provider associated with the network address; determining a percent likelihood that the carrier gateway is configured to provide services to a mobile device based on the determined information about the network carrier service provider; determining a capability for the carrier gateway based on the likelihood and the information about the network carrier service provider; and providing the capability, percent likelihood, and information about the network carrier service provider to a content provider, such that the content provider may provide a response to a request from the carrier gateway. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system for use in selectively enabling delivery of content over a network, comprising:
-
a carrier catalogue service that is configured and arranged to perform actions, including; receiving a network address associated with an unknown carrier gateway; determining information about a network carrier service provider associated with the network address; determining a percent likelihood that the carrier gateway is configured to provide services to a mobile device based on the determined information about the network carrier service provider; determining a capability for the carrier gateway based on the likelihood and the information about the network carrier service provider; and providing the capability, percent likelihood, and information about the network carrier service provider over the network; and a content provider that is configured and arranged to perform actions, including; receiving a request from the unknown carrier gateway; providing the network address to the carrier catalogue service; receiving capability, percent likelihood, and information about the network carrier service provider; and employing at least one of the capability, percent likelihood, or information about the network carrier service provider to determine a response to the request from the carrier gateway; and providing the determined response to the carrier gateway. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
