Dynamic monitoring and authorization of an optimization device

A system for monitoring and authorizing operation of an optimization device in a network, comprising:

• an optimization device comprising:
• an interface module that facilitates communication between the optimization device and the network;
• an optimization module that facilitates data transfer across the network using at least one optimization technique;
• and
• a storage module in communication with the optimization module, the storage module configured to store at least one copy of selected data for use in the at least one optimization technique;
• and
• at least one portal in communication with the interface module of the optimization device, wherein the at least one portal:
• receives an authorization request message from the optimization device, the authorization request message comprising information identifying a customer identifier and customer location where the optimization device is deployed;
• determines, based at least in part on the customer identifier, that the optimization device is authorized for operation;
• determines capability parameters for the optimization device, the capability parameters including a plurality of expiry parameter thresholds at which the optimization device is to report device usage information to the at least one portal;
• and
• transmits an authorization response message to the optimization device, the authorization response message comprising the determined capability parameters.
