A hybrid network communication method is disclosed. A gateway device receives a first association request of a multimode device through a first physical interface, where the first association request includes a MAC address of a second physical interface of the multimode device. The gateway device receives a second association request of the multimode device through a third physical interface, where the second association request includes a MAC address of a fourth physical interface of the multimode device. The gateway device obtains an IPv6 address of the multimode device, and records a first correspondence and a second correspondence. The first correspondence includes the IPv6 address of the multimode device, the MAC address of the second physical interface, and the first physical interface. The second correspondence includes the IPv6 address of the multimode device, the MAC address of the fourth physical interface, and the third physical interface.

The present invention is directed to methods and systems for requesting information from a mobile device with a fencing agent. The fencing agent determines a position with a DNS resolver, queries geofences with an IP address, receives an anchor point with an IP address from the DNS resolver. The device with the fencing agent is able to receive multiple anchor points within multiple geofences within an ROI and translate fence points into fence geometries. Geofence information is stored and registered in a database of geofences, and each geofence is associated with a plurality of geographic designators, wherein each of the plurality of geographic designators is associated with an IP address.

A system is provided for generating and signing cryptographically generated addresses (“CGA”) using computing network traffic. In particular, the system, as well as any authorized computing systems within the network, may monitor network traffic during a specified time window for designated types of data or information during the time window. Based on monitoring the network traffic, the system may generate a cryptographic hash output of the data or information collected. The hash output may then subsequently be used, in part or whole, as the modifier in a CGA algorithm to generate a CGA. The system may then selective authorize devices which have generated the CGA using the correct modifier.

Computing devices and method for performing a secure neighbor discovery. A local computing device transmits an encrypted local node identifier and an encrypted local challenge to a remote computing device. The remote computing device generates a local challenge response based on the local challenge; and transmits an encrypted remote node identifier and an encrypted local challenge response to the local computing device. The local computing device determines that the received local challenge response corresponds to an expected local challenge response generated based on the local challenge. The remote computing device further transmits an encrypted remote challenge. The local computing device generates a remote challenge response based on the remote challenge; and transmits an encrypted remote challenge response to the remote computing device. The remote computing device determines that the received remote challenge response corresponds to an expected remote challenge response generated based on the remote challenge.

Systems and network devices configured to use Stateless Address Auto-Configuration (SLAAC) to provide different internet protocol (IP) address information to user equipment (UE) devices that are connected to the same local area network (LAN). A network device (e.g., default router, etc.) may determine whether a UE device is eligible to receive special treatment based on a link-layer address of the UE device. The network device send the UE device an unicast router advertisement that includes a special prefix in response to determining that the UE device is eligible to receive special treatment. The network device may send the UE device an unicast router advertisement that includes a base prefix for the LAN in response to determining that the UE device is not eligible to receive special treatment.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a secure communication method, a client and a non-public server. The secure communication method includes: generating a set of destination addresses of a non-public server based on an IPv6 prefix of the non-public server, and a signature string and a user ID of a client, wherein the signature string is obtained by signing an IPv6 address and the user ID of the client based on a private key of the client; initiating a set of connection request to the non-public server based on a set of communication connections containing the set of destination addresses, for the non-public server to determine a public key corresponding to a user ID based on the user ID in the set of destination addresses, verifying the set of communication connections based on the public key, and establishing communication when the verification of the set of communication connections passes.

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for tracking network traffic for local area network (LAN) subnets in a wireless wide area network (WWAN). In some implementations, a UE of the WWAN may assign a unique public IP address to each router of the LAN. The UE may transmit network traffic received from the LAN to the WWAN. The network traffic originating from any router of the LAN may be associated with the unique public IP address that was assigned to that router. The WWAN may use the unique public IP addresses to generate network traffic information that may indicate amounts of network traffic flowing from each router of the LAN. The WWAN, for example, may use the network traffic information to determine billing information for any router in the LAN.

A method for performing Internet reachability management and associated apparatus are provided. The method may include: establishing, by a processor of the UE, a first connection to a first access device; receiving, by the processor, an indicator complying with a first protocol sent from the first access device; in response to receiving the indicator, performing, by the processor, a reachability detection complying with a second protocol to generate a detection result; and in response to the detection result representing that a network is not reachable, performing at least one of: displaying, by a display of the UE, a message or icon to represent the first connection or the network is unavailable; disconnecting, by the processor, the first connection; and establishing, by the processor, a second connection to a second access device.

A method, apparatus and device for determining a cluster network card, and a computer readable storage medium. The method comprises: reading a network segment of a Cluster IP from a configuration file of a current node; determining the type of the network segment of the Cluster IP by means of an address string in the network segment of the Cluster IP; obtaining an IP and a network card corresponding to the type of the network segment of the Cluster IP on the current node; and calculating the network segment of each IP, determining the IP corresponding to the network segment with the same address string as a Cluster IP, and determining the network card where the IP is located as a cluster network card. According to the disclosure, the IP corresponding to the network segment with the same address string in the network segments of the Cluster IP is determined as the Cluster IP, and the network card where the IP is located is determined as the cluster network card, so that the cluster network card can be automatically and accurately found according to the configuration file.

A network device may delegate a first prefix length to a primary WAN interface and delegate a second prefix length to a backup WAN interface. The network device may assign a first primary prefix and a first backup prefix to a first VLAN interface and may assign a second primary prefix and a second backup prefix to a second VLAN interface. The network device may provide egress traffic from host devices, connected to the first VLAN interface and to the second VLAN interface, to the primary WAN interface and without prefix translation, when the primary WAN interface is available. The network device may provide ingress traffic to the host devices, via the primary WAN interface and without prefix translation, when the primary WAN interface is available.
