Abstract:
Methods and systems for providing sourcing Internet access requests from ISP subscribers serviced by a gateway not physically located near the subscribers. As the localization needs of all subscribers are not necessarily the same, the gateway determines an appropriate source IP address to use to ensure that the IP protocol localization features work efficiently. In addition, the gateway can help enforce rules related to the governing law of the geographic area of the subscriber and/or rules based on the content providers licensing. Through determination of the context of a request, the gateway may also determine whether localized sourcing of a request is necessary based on the type of content being requested.

Claim (Index 1):
A gateway, comprising:\n one or more non-transitory computer-readable mediums operatively coupled to one or more processors, and having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the gateway to:\n maintain a first IP address range associated with a first geographic area serviced by the gateway and a second IP address range associated with a second geographic area serviced by the gateway, wherein the second geographic area is different from the first geographic area; \n receive a request from each of a first subscriber and a second subscriber serviced by the gateway, wherein the first subscriber is located within the first geographic area, and wherein the second subscriber is located within the second geographic area; \n determine an appropriate source IP address to use in servicing the request of the first subscriber based on a first geographic area-specific policy for the first geographic area; and \n determine an appropriate source IP address to use in servicing the request of the second subscriber based on a second geographic area-specific policy for the second geographic area.
