System in a broadband network
First Claim
1. A system for control and supervision of residential control in a broadband network comprising a plurality of hardware and software broadband network dedicated units including at least a protocol server, and a membership policy server, wherein in order to provide service differentiation for customers, said plurality of units is configured to:
- control a port by feeding a protocol server for auto-configuration of client network parameters with information from the membership policy server, said policy server providing that each network customer address can be connected to a unique name of a port for one customer inside the network;
assure a class of service for specific types of customer equipment while denying attempts to lease additional customer addresses through said protocol server, said protocol server keeping a record of all assigned addresses to said policy server;
provide forced direction for network login procedure by redirecting a customers browser to a predetermined login procedure when a network connected equipment is turned on, thus providing a controlled way of identifying each customer before using other services; and
provide abuse and anti-spoof protection by adjusting border gateway control routing tables in real time with respect to said protocol for auto-configuration.
