Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for monitoring device data and/or gateway data. Devices may be connected to a network via a gateway device. Data transmitted and/or received by one or more of the devices may be captured and monitored to determine various parameters associated with the one or more devices. Data associated with the gateway device may also be captured and monitored. Signal strengths, device statuses, network security, and/or other metrics may be determined based on monitored data.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a tethering enforcement device controller and methods thereof. The tethering enforcement device controller (TEDC) is installed on a primary device, or otherwise known as the tethered device. The TEDC is configured to detect, control and block unauthorized or inappropriate tethering with a secondary device, or otherwise known as the tethering device, via either a native or a third-party tethering application, by retrieving a configuration file from a server associated with a wireless carrier. The configuration file typically includes customer profile and currently blacklisted package names of third-party tethering applications. The customer profile typically includes subscription information, including use of tethering services. If the customer is trying to tether and tethering is not allowed, then the TEDC will prevent the secondary device from tethering with the primary device. In some embodiments, the TEDC is an untethering application installed on the primary device.

Tethering enforcement device controller and methods thereof

A method and system for selecting ring paths in service provisioning on optical networks including a plurality of interconnected rings. The method includes: receiving a request to provision a service between a first end point and a second end point in the optical network; identifying a plurality of possible ring paths between the first and second end points; validating a bandwidth of each ring path, including validating bandwidths of bandwidth bottlenecks in each ring path; selecting a path from the validated ring paths; and provisioning the service on the selected path. The system utilizes a path engine on a network management server that knows about the bandwidth allocation in the entire network and implements the method. The resources of the optical network used by the provisioned service is thus minimized.

Path engine for optical network

A method and system for synchronizing data between a management system (MS) and network elements (NE) in an optical network utilizes a table counter and row counters for each row in a NE table, and a table counter and row counter for each row in a MS table. The NE table counter increments when a change in the NE table occurs. Each NE row counter increments when its row is changed. The MS table counter increments when a change in the MS table occurs. Each MS row counter is incremented when its row is changed. The MS polls the NE table counter and compares it with its MS table counter. If they are different, then the MS compares each NE row counter with the corresponding MS row counter. For any of the row counters that do not match, the rows between the MS table and the NE table are synchronized.
