Patent ID: 8792823

Claim:
An apparatus for providing control of selectively allowed applications in an access and packet data network, comprising: at least one access network operatively coupled to the access and packet data network; an Internet Protocol/User Datagram Protocol (IP/UDP) list of application servers that are operatively coupled to the access and packet data network; an application server in a session layer in the access and packet data network operatively connected to the IP/UDP list of application servers, the application server employing dynamic control functions to employ policies for determining access of data flow from the access network through the access and packet data network for applications allowed through the at least one access network based on the application servers in the IP/UDP list of application servers; at least one user equipment operatively coupled to a multiprotocol label switching network; an access gateway operatively coupled between an access network and the multiprotocol label switching network; and at least one IP/UDP application server operatively coupled to the multiprotocol label switching network that utilizes a database that has a static allowed list in a PDSN (packet data service node) for the application server, wherein the static allowed list is provisioned in the access gateway to block flows from the access network, wherein the apparatus further comprises a default policy implemented in the access gateway that blocks all services until authorized, and wherein all authorized services are allowed until occurrence of a timeout, and wherein the apparatus further comprises a policy authorization timer for all services.
