An Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) request is received at a gateway coupled to a first local network from a first host also coupled to the first local network. The ARP request includes a destination IP address of a second host coupled to a second local network. Also, a source IP address of the first host and the destination IP address are within the same IP address sub-network. A local network address of the gateway is then sent to the first host in reply to the ARP request, based on an entry for the destination IP address in an ARP proxy table stored on the gateway. A packet is subsequently acquired from the first host addressed to the second host. The packet's header includes the source IP address and the destination IP address. Finally the packet is transmitted toward the second host.

370/395500
Abstract:
The bidirectional IP communication device (device) broadcasts a first discovery packet for establishing communication sessions using a first network communication protocol. The device also transmits a second network communication protocol for establishing communication sessions using a second network communication protocol, where the second network communication protocol is different to the first network communication protocol. The device then receives a response to either the first discovery packet or the second discovery packet. Based on this response, the device identifies which network communication protocol is in use. The device then configures itself for the network communication protocol that it identified as being used.

Abstract:
Methods and systems for detection of venue walk-in events by consumers in possession of wireless mobile devices. Received signal strength indication (RSSI) information is received from a plurality of wireless base stations. The RSSI information relates to mobile devices that communicate with the wireless base stations. Based on the RSSI information, it is determined whether a venue walk-in event has occurred for a particular mobile device.
