Dynamic IPoE clips subscriber method and apparatus

摘要

Embodiments of the present disclosure include methods and apparatus for providing virtual channelization of un-channelized media. A parent circuit is configured to expect dynamic IPoE CLIPS clients. Traffic having a source address is received from an access point. A circuit lookup is performed based on the source address. Upon a determination from the circuit lookup that a circuit corresponding to the traffic from the source address does not exist, the parent circuit determines whether the source address of the traffic falls within a predefined range of addresses and notifies a control plane of the parent circuit that a new IP address has been detected for dynamic IPoE CLIPS.

主权项

1. A method for providing virtual channelization of un-channelized media, which comprises:
configuring a parent circuit to expect traffic from one or more dynamic Internet Protocol over Ethernet (IPoE) Clientless Internet Protocol Service (CLIPS) clients over a predefined range of IP addresses; receiving traffic having a source address from an access point; performing a circuit lookup based on the source address; and upon finding from the circuit lookup that a circuit corresponding to the traffic from the source address does not exist:
determining whether the source address of the traffic falls within the predefined range of IP addresses; andresponsive to the determining, notifying a control plane of the parent circuit that a new IP address within the predefined range of IP addresses has been detected for dynamic IPoE CLIPS.
