Abstract
A network element implements a method to support a plurality of network services between a computing device and the network element over non-channelized media using a single subscriber session. The method includes receiving from a computing device a request for a first network service that includes a Media Access Control (MAC) address of the computing device, retrieving a user record from a database server based on the MAC address of the computing device, determining from the user record whether the computing device supports the first network service and a second network service, and upon determining that the computing device supports the first network service and the second network service, creating a single dual-stack session that combines the first network service and the second network service. The method further includes enabling the computing device to access the first network service and the second network service where the first network service and the second network service are managed by the single dual-stack session.
