A first set of access rules is received from an access configuration service. The first set of access rules specifies addresses of devices authorized for a first user. A second set of access rules is received from the access configuration service. The second set of the access rules specifies addresses of devices authorized for a second user. At a wireless access point, a network packet associated with the first user is received. The first set of access rules is applied to filter the network packet.

Access enforcement at a wireless access point

A method and apparatus for detecting an unauthorized change in an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache in a communication network includes a step of establishing an authorized ARP cache. Another step includes examining packets from a terminal for a destination address. Another step includes determining if the destination address is incorrect by using the authorized ARP cache.

Detection of unauthorized changes to an address resolution protocol cache in a communication network

A technique for synchronization of mobile device information in a wireless communication network includes associatinga mobile device (MD) to a first access point (AP). A next step includes transmittinga roam notification message from the first AP to all APs in network. A next step includes associatingthe MD to a second AP. A next step includes establishingthat the first and second APs are roaming neighbors. A next step includes buildinga roaming neighbor list in the associated first and second APs for the MD, wherein the list includes those neighboring APs where the MD has been associated. A next step includes determiningthat the MD is currently associated with an AP. A next step includes preemptively pushinginformation about the MD to those APs in the list of the determined AP for synchronization.
