Abstract

A method and apparatus method of filtering packet data for an anonymous user device in a packet data network communication system includes a first step of initiating a call from an anonymous user device on a home network. A next step includes assigning an interim identity and interim IP address to the user device. A next step includes determining a level of service access of the data packets from the user device. A next step includes mapping the level of service access of the user device to the IP address. A next step includes defining permissible routing identities per the level of service access. A next step includes routing the data packets of the call along with the associated IP address to only those location addresses from the defining step.
