Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for eliminating unwanted data packets by a restricted bandwidth network that interfaces with a second network are provided. In embodiments, a device receives unwanted data packets associated with identification of the device. Due to the transient nature of some forms of device identification, data packets intended for one user may be received by another user who has taken on the device identification of the first user. To remedy this situation, unwanted data packets are identified and blocked at a gateway based on the source and/or destination identification associated with the data packets.
