NETWORK ADDRESS ALLOCATION USING A USER IDENTITY

摘要

The apparatuses and methods described herein may generate an identifier associated with a user identity responsive to detecting access to a network by a node associated with the user identity. The node may be assigned a temporary network address. The identifier associated with the user identity may be sent to the node. At least one permanent network address may be allocated to the node as a replacement for the temporary network address responsive to receiving an allocation request including the identifier from the node. The at least one permanent network address may be selected from one or more permanent network addresses previously assigned to the user identity.
