VERIFIABLE SERVICE POLICY IMPLEMENTATION FOR INTERMEDIATE NETWORKING DEVICES
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- at least one processor of a first end user device, the first end user device capable of operating as an intermediate networking device, the at least one processor configured to;
use an intermediate networking device forwarding agent to forward traffic between a first access network and one or more other end user devices according to a trusted intermediate networking device forwarding policy to implement an intermediate networking device forwarding service, the trusted intermediate networking device forwarding policy associated with one or more policy settings; and
provide a user interface to a first end user of the first end user device, the user interface capable of receiving a modification request to modify at least one of the one or more policy settings associated with the trusted intermediate networking device forwarding policy; and
memory coupled to the at least one processor and configured to provide the at least one processor with instructions.

Abstract
Various embodiments are disclosed for a services policy communication system and method. In some embodiments, an intermediate networking device acts as a service intermediary or intermediate connection between a network and one or more communications devices; implements a service policy set for assisting control of the intermediate networking device use of a service set on the network, the service policy set including one or more service policies associated with the intermediate networking device or one or more communications devices connected to the intermediate networking device, the service set being one or more network services used by the intermediate networking device or one or more communications devices; and monitors use of the service set based on the first service policy set, in which the implementation of the service policy set is verified.
