Network address allocation using a user identity
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a first node to access a storage unit to store a plurality of mapping lists, at least one of the plurality of mapping lists including one or more permanent network addresses assigned to a user identity;
a generator module to generate, using at least one processor, an identifier associated with the user identity when access to a network by a second node associated with the user identity is detected; and
a transmission module to send the identifier to the second node to enable the second node to obtain replacement of a temporary network address allocated to the second node with at least one permanent network address of the one or more permanent network addresses, the transmission module to receive a release request from the second node to release the temporary network address allocated to the second node, to receive an allocation request from the second node to allocate the at least one permanent network address, the allocation request including the identifier, to allocate the at least one permanent network address to the second node as the replacement for the temporary network address, and to assign the at least one permanent network address to a third node based on a determination that a user associated with the user identity moves from the second node and logs on to the third node.

Abstract
Apparatus, systems, and methods assign a permanent network address to a user identity, detect access to a network by a node associated with the user identity, generate an identifier associated with the user identity, and send the identifier to the node to enable the node to obtain replacement of a temporary network address allocated to the node, with the permanent network address. Activities may include receiving a release request from a node to release a temporary network address allocated to the node (associated with the user identity), receiving an allocation request (including the identifier) from the node to allocate a permanent network address previously assigned to the user identity, and allocating the permanent network address to the node as a replacement for the temporary network address. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

10. A processor-implemented method to execute on one or more processors that perform the method, comprising:
-
accessing a storage unit, by a first node, to store a plurality of mapping lists including one or more permanent network addresses; assigning at least one permanent network address of the one or more permanent network addresses to a user identity; detecting a second node accessing a network, the second node associated with the user identity; generating an identifier associated with the user identity; sending, via a transmission module, the identifier to the second node to enable the second node to obtain replacement of a temporary network address allocated to the second node with the at least one permanent network address; receiving, via the transmission module, a release request from the second node to release the temporary network address allocated to the second node; receiving an allocation request from the second node to allocate the at least one permanent network address, the allocation request including the identifier; and allocating the at least one permanent network address to the second node as the replacement for the temporary network address, the at least one permanent network address to be assigned to a third node based on a determination that a user associated with the user identity moves from the second node and logs on to the third node. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
