Abstract
A method includes receiving a first message from a device via a network. The method includes determining a device type of the device. In response to determining that the device type satisfies a criterion, sending a second message granting the device limited access to the network subject to a first restriction level that limits bandwidth usage by the device to a first consumption threshold and sending a network access request to a second device associated with an operator of the access point. The method includes receiving a response to the network access request from the second device. The method also includes, responsive to the response indicating to grant the device access to the network subject to a second restriction level, allowing the device access to the network subject to the second restriction level, where the second restriction level limits bandwidth usage by the device to a second consumption threshold that is greater than the first consumption threshold.
