METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PROVIDING ROUTING POLICIES TO USER TERMINALS ACCORDING TO APPLICATIONS EXECUTED ON USER TERMINALS
First Claim
1. A gateway device for providing routing policies to user terminals according to applications executed on the user terminals, the device comprising:
- a define module for defining configurations for the user terminal, the user terminal being classified as a privileged user terminal or a common user terminal according to the applications executed thereon;
a recognition module for retrieving a private Internet Protocol (IP) address of the user terminal upon receipt of a connection request from the user terminal and recognizing the user terminal based on the configurations; and
a network address translation module for routing the connection request to a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server upon recognizing the user terminal as the privileged user terminal so as to assign a reserved IP address to the privileged user terminal.

Abstract
A method and system for providing routing policies to user terminals according to applications executed on the user terminals are provided. The method includes defining configurations for the user terminal and classifying the user terminal as a privileged user terminal or a common user terminal, retrieving a private IP address of the user terminal upon receipt of a connection request from the user terminal, recognizing the user terminal as the privileged user terminal or a common user terminal, and routing the connection request to a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server upon recognizing the user terminal as the privileged user terminal so as to obtain a reserved IP address for the privileged user terminal.
