NETWORK ACCESS TECHNOLOGY INDICATION

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for exchanging network connection access technology information amongst nodes in a communication network. An access point such as a router can include an indication of the access technology used for its network connection in a router advertisement message. A network device can connect to the router using a different access technology, but use the router's network access technology to determine operating information.
