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 14):
A method, comprising:\n a gateway maintaining a plurality of geographic area-specific policies and a plurality of IP address ranges, wherein each of the plurality of geographic area-specific policies and each of the plurality of IP address ranges is associated with a respective one of a plurality of geographic areas serviced by the gateway; the gateway receiving a request from a requesting subscriber to access Internet content; the gateway determining a geographic area of the requesting subscriber based on an IP address of the requesting subscriber; the gateway obtaining a geographic area-specific policy from the plurality of geographic area-specific policies for the determined geographic area; and the gateway determining an appropriate source IP address to use in servicing the request based on the obtained geographic area-specific policy.
