Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media are operable to reduce the messaging needed for efficient control of hotspot activities. A database associating hotspots, their hosting broadband home gateways and their Wireless Access Gateways (WAGs) is developed by a monitor that inspects traffic to and from the access points. The monitor provides a WAG monitoring services to the broadband home gateways that reduces the amount of network traffic, while still allowing broadband access gateways to appropriately enable to disable their hotspots with the corresponding condition of the associated WAGs.
