IP3 2017-WLAN 2

This portfolio is generally related to network gateways. Disclosed are gateways to interconnect high speed WAN to a low speed WLAN using adaptable cross layer offload engine and rule check engine. The offload engine stores data coming from WAN in a non-secure data cache, rule engine performs stateless or stateful inspection of data and data is moved to a secure data cache of WLAN. The technology may be implemented in network equipment such as gateways, base stations, routers, switches, bridges, etc.
