Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate an automatic detection of WAN (wide-area network) configurations. A CPE (customer premise equipment) device may generate and output one or more probing packets to one or more upstream network elements. The CPE device may receive one or more probing packet responses from one or more of the upstream network elements. Based upon the received probing packet response(s), the CPE device may determine WAN configurations and parameters, and the CPE device may set WAN configurations accordingly.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n outputting a first round of one or more probing packets from a customer premise equipment device; receiving at least one probing packet response in response to the first round of probing packets; based upon the at least one probing packet response, determining whether a network access control authenticator is detected; if a network access control authenticator is not detected:\n based upon the at least one probing packet response received in response to the first round of probing packets, determining whether a PPPoE server or a DHCP server is detected; \n configuring a WAN client associated with PPPoE if a PPPoE server is detected; and \n configuring a WAN client associated with DHCP if a DHCP server is detected; and \n if a network access control authenticator is detected:\n initiating authentication of a supplicant at the customer premise equipment device; \n outputting a second round of one or more probing packets from the customer premise equipment device; \n receiving at least one probing packet response in response to the second round of probing packets; \n based upon the at least one probing packet response received in response to the second round of probing packets, determining whether a PPPoE server or a DHCP server is detected; \n configuring a WAN client associated with PPPoE if a PPPoE server is detected; and \n configuring a WAN client associated with DHCP if a DHCP server is detected.
