<p>A network is configured so as to allow access by a client device for a limited period of time. During this period of time, the client device may have access to designated network resources. In some cases, the network may be so configured on-the-fly; that is, it may be configured to allow access by the client device in response to an installation request transmitted by the client device to a network master device. Such an installation request should include a unique identifier associated with the client device. This unique identifier may be broadcast by the client device without a prompt by the network master device. The use of a unique identifier allows for recognizing the guest client and further facilitates updating a client table wherein information regarding the available bandwidth for the guest client device may be stored. Upon expiration of the period of time, the guest client may be automatically uninstalling from the network.</p> |
