20080232368 | NETWORK SYSTEM - When a user terminal makes a connection request, a router acquires a group address that the user terminal can join from an authentication server. The router gives information of the router to a packet during joining check (Query) and transmits the packet to a layer 2 switch. The layer 2 switch can grasp, by receiving the joining checks which group address the user terminal can join. The layer 2 switch can perform delivery control involving authentication. The layer 2 switch collects information necessary for accounting such as delivery start and end times and traffic and transmits the information to the router. The router creates accounting information on the basis of the information and transmits the accounting information to the accounting server. | 09-25-2008 |

20090070863 | ACCESS SERVER AND CONNECTION RESTRICTION METHOD - The access server receives an authentication packet including an authentication result, a port change setting information, a port change time, a filtering setting information and a filtering time from the authentication server. The access server stores the respective information in the authentication packet into a memory. The access server refers to the memory, and in the case where the port change setting information on an arbitrary user identifier is set to perform port change, when it becomes the port change time, the access server changes the output destination of a packet from a user terminal to, for example, a proxy server B from a proxy server A. Besides, in the case where the filtering setting information on an arbitrary user identifier is set to perform filtering, when it becomes the filtering start time, the access server performs filtering on the port to which the user terminal is connected. | 03-12-2009 |
20090080427 | MULTICAST ACCOUNTING CONTROL SYSTEM AND BROADBAND ACCESS SERVER - A listening-or-viewing charge is differentiated with bit rates depending on distributed programs. A broadband access server for holding user channels by PPP and replicating and transferring multicast packets have a counter for counting the number of distributed multicast packets and the number of distributed bytes at each multicast group address. The counter values (byte counts and packet counts) when a user joins a multicast group and when the user leaves the multicast group and a multicast session ID containing a PPP user ID and a multicast group address are sent to a multicast accounting radius server. The multicast accounting server provides an accounting on a basis of the byte counts, the packet counts, or a bit rate. | 03-26-2009 |
