Abstract
In one implementation, a guest device on an ad hoc network is permitted to initiate a communication session through a packet switched network depending on the destination endpoint of the communication session. A network device maintains a list of approved destination endpoints, which may be identified by telephone numbers, addresses, or uniform resource identifiers. The approved destination endpoints correspond to services that are offered to users of guest devices, such as voicemail, videoconferencing, or customer service. The network device receives a request for a communication session from a guest device, and the request includes data indicative of a destination endpoint. The network device compares the data indicative of the destination endpoint to the list of approved destination endpoints. If there is a match, the request is forwarded to a next hop router. If there is no match the request is dropped or returned to the guest device.
