DYNAMIC VLAN IP NETWORK ENTRY

摘要

Systems and methods for tagging packets in a wireless network are described. The methods can comprise detecting initial entry of subscriber equipment into a wireless network at a first base station and generating a network tag for the subscriber equipment, the network tag associating the subscriber equipment with the first base station. The tag can be distributed to other base stations and, upon reentry of the subscriber equipment to the network, a network connection can be configured for the subscriber equipment based on the tag. Detecting initial entry includes receiving a network entry packet including a unique identifier associated with the subscriber equipment. The network connection can be configured by providing an IP address assigned to the subscriber equipment and the IP address may be distributed through a relay agent instantiated for the network connection. The network tag can be an IEEE 802.1q tag, MPLS tag, etc.

1. A system comprising:
a processor; a memory including instructions configured to cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
detecting initial entry of subscriber equipment into a wireless network at a first base station;assigning a tag to the subscriber equipment that creates an association of the subscriber equipment with the first base station; andproviding to another base station a plurality of unique identifiers and corresponding tags, wherein the plurality of unique identifiers and corresponding tags includes the tag assigned to the subscriber equipment and a unique identifier of the subscriber equipment, wherein upon reentry of the subscriber equipment into the wireless network through the other base station, the other base station resumes the network connection at the other base station based on the tag as provided to the other base station by the system, wherein the other base station retrieves the tag based on the unique identifier received from the subscriber equipment during reentry through the other base station, and wherein the network connection maintains the association of the subscriber equipment with the first base station based on the tag.
