Abstract
Systems and methods for managing a network are disclosed. One method can comprise detecting a triggering event at a node. Location information of the node can be transmitted to a routing device in response to the triggering event. Location information of the node can be transmitted to a management device. The management device can be configured to control an operation of one or more of the node and the routing device in response to the location information.
Claims26
A method comprising:
- detecting a triggering event at a node;
- transmitting location information of the node to a routing device in response to the triggering event, wherein the location information is encapsulated for transmission;
- and
- transmitting the location information of the node to a management device, wherein the management device is configured to control an operation of one or more of the node and the routing device in response to the location information.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a routing device, location information of a node based on an occurrence of a triggering event at the node, wherein the location information is encapsulated;
- and
- transmitting, by the routing device, the location information of the node to a management device, wherein the management device is configured to control an operation of one or more of the node and the routing device in response to the location information.
A method comprising:
- receiving first location information based upon a user communication with a first node of a network;
- receiving second location information based upon a user communication with a second node of the network, wherein the second location information is received in an encapsulated format;
- and
- updating a client location data based on the second location information.
1 more element
A network comprising:
- a first node configured to communicate with a user device and transmit first location information to a routing device, wherein the first location information is transmitted in a first format;
- and
- a second node configured to communicate with the user device and transmit second location information to the routing device, wherein the second location information is transmitted in a second format, and wherein the user device is addressed by a persistent identifier when communicating with one or more of the first node and the second node.
