Abstract
An apparatus for providing network access and application session services includes a wireless network access device for receiving packet data streams from or transmitting packet data streams to one or more subscribers, and for conveying the packet data streams to or from a network or other subscribers. The wireless network access device includes profile information relating to the one or more subscribers. The apparatus further includes one or more application session services that are provided as a component of the wireless network access device. The wireless network access device selects, based on the profile information, zero or more of the application session services to process the packet data streams. The wireless network access device can also determine an application state associated with the packet data streams, and can modify actions of at least one of the application session services according to the application state.
