Abstract

See full text

A computer-implemented method may include assigning a transport-agnostic identifier to a computing device. The computer-implemented method may include identifying a first attempt by the computing device to access a first network. The first attempt may be made via a first media-transport technology that identifies the computing device with a first transport-specific identifier. The computer-implemented method may also include receiving the transport-agnostic identifier from the computing device. The computer-implemented method may further include using the transport-agnostic identifier, instead of the first transport-specific identifier, to determine whether to allow the computing device to access the first network. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
