Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A broadband gateway may be operable to receive network topology information to enable peer-to-peer communications between a first communication device and a second communication device. The first communication device is communicatively coupled to the broadband gateway. The broadband gateway may be operable to handle at least one physical layer connection to at least one corresponding network access service provider. A communication link which may bypass core layer network components and/or resources for enabling the peer-to-peer communications between the first communication device and the second communication device may be established by the broadband gateway, based on the received network topology information, a location of the first communication device and a location of the second communication device. The broadband gateway may establish the communication link to enable the peer-to-peer communications by marking traffic such as by inserting QinQ tags into traffic between the first communication device and the second communication device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for communication, the method comprising: in a broadband gateway that is communicatively coupled to a first communication device, the broadband gateway being configured to handle at least one physical layer connection to at least one corresponding network access service provider: receiving network topology information that represents a hierarchical network topology of a network to which said broadband gateway is coupled, said hierarchical network…
