Notifications associated with software-defined network components are registered for. A notification is received in accordance with the registration. It is determined that the notification indicates a configuration change to a network associated with the software-defined network components. In response to a determination that the notification indicates the configuration change, a network topology associated with the network is determined. It is determined that one or more network functionalities are impacted by the configuration change based, at least in part, on the network topology. In response to a determination that the one or more network functionalities are impacted by the configuration change, the one or more network functionalities are updated based, at least in part, on the network topology.

Efficient management of network configuration-dependent network functionality

A method may include providing a service to a customer premise device, the service including at least one of television service or Internet service, receiving a request for Internet content from the customer premise device, retrieving the Internet content, conditioning the Internet content according to at least one of a type of data of the Internet content or the service from which the request is received, allocating resources for delivering the Internet content based on one or more requirements associated with the type of data of the Internet content, and delivering the Internet content to the customer premise device.

Delivery system for internet content

In general, techniques are described to increase customer awareness within a network device of a cable network. Based on this increased awareness, a layer 3 network device, such as a router, may apply services that augment services applied by a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS). The network device may be positioned between the CMTS and a backend network of the cable network. The network device may include a control unit to access the CMTS to determine network information and at least one network interface that receives network traffic. The control unit may apply at least one of a plurality of services provided by the network device to the network traffic based on the network information learned from the CMTS. Often, at least one of the differentiated services may comprise a service not provided by the CMTS and, consequently, a service that may augment those services currently provided by the CMTS.

Applying differentiated services within a cable network using customer-aware network router

A method of access control management includes determining a private network address for a user in connection with the user accessing a network resource, determining an access control list entry for the user based on an access control policy, translating a public network address to the private network address for the user accessing the network resource, and allowing or blocking the user access based on the access control list entry, wherein determining the access control list entry is performed before translating the public network address to the private network address.
