Embodiment Construction

[0027] The present invention is applicable to internal networks operated by multiple system operators (MSOs). The internal network includes a number of network entities for connecting customers and routing customer traffic. The invention allows management of external public network service provisioning, eg Internet service provisioning, via an internal network to customers.

[0028] Embodiments of the invention are described with respect to a cable modem network operated by a cable TV service company. However, the present invention can be applied to internal networks of different types of MSOs, such as but not limited to Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) networks.

[0029] Figure 1A shows an IP provisioning system 2 for a cable modem network 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Cable modem network 10 may be a new or existing network including cable modem 18 and cable modem termination system (CMTS) 14 .

[0030] The IP provisioning system 2 is located at the ...

Abstract

A network service management server is provided for an internal network operated by a multi-system operator, at a selected location of the internal network, such as a network head-end. The server registers a client connecting to one of the network entities. It also assigns to the client an address associated with the one of the network entities to which the client is connected. The server manages network services by handling information relating to network services for the client based on the assigned address. The server can handle network services for the client based solely on the clients assigned IP address.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to public network access, and more particularly to servers, systems and methods for providing access to public networks via a multi-system operator's internal network. Background technique [0002] Today, most providers of high-speed Internet provisioning systems connect a local area network (LAN) to the Internet via an on-site or local Internet provisioning server. The local provisioning server provisions, authenticates and provides billing interfaces for Internet services. Inside a LAN, a LAN site must provide some means of connecting internal network traffic and routing it through the central system of the LAN. The interior of a LAN can consist of structured cabling / switches, Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology, wireless 802.11 devices, Ethernet over coax, and other hybrid systems for providing network connectivity to LAN users. The Internet provisioning server is directly connected to the router, which acts as a...
