1. A waveguide system comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
receiving, from a second waveguide system, electromagnetic waves at a physical interface of a transmission medium, wherein the electromagnetic waves are guided by the transmission medium without utilizing an electrical return path, wherein the electromagnetic waves have a non-optical frequency range, wherein the electromagnetic waves contain first data, second data, and metadata, wherein the first and second data are directed to a recipient device, and wherein the metadata is generated by the second waveguide system and is associated with the first and second data by the second waveguide system;
responsive to a detection of the metadata, determining a first network path for the first data; and
responsive to the detection of the metadata, determining a second network path for the second data.

9. A method comprising:
-
generating, by a system including a processor, first traffic for transmitting along a network path to a recipient device; transmitting, by the system, second traffic along the network path, wherein the second traffic comprises data readings from a data collection device of a premises. determining, by the system, a schedule for transmitting the first traffic that removes traffic patterns from a combined transmitting of the first and second traffic; and transmitting, by the system, the first traffic along the network path according to the schedule, wherein the first traffic is removed from the network path prior to reaching the recipient device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A machine-readable storage device comprising instructions, which when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
monitoring network traffic associated with a premises; monitoring a presence of a user at the premises; responsive to a first determination that the network traffic does not satisfy a first threshold, a second determination that the user is not present at the premises, or a combination thereof, accessing a group of information sources utilizing equipment at the premises to increase the network traffic to satisfy a second threshold, wherein the accessing of each information source of the group of information sources is performed without being initiated by user input at the equipment at the premises. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
