Managing multi-customer network traffic using lower layer protocol attributes

摘要

Methods and systems for managing packets using lower layer protocol attributes include determining a network address and a lower layer protocol attribute associated with a packet and applying a particular network policy to the packet based on the determined network address and the lower layer protocol attribute. The lower layer protocol attribute is associated with a protocol layer lower than a protocol layer associated with the network address.

1. A computer-implemented method executed by one or more processors, the method comprising:
determining a network address and a lower layer protocol attribute associated with a packet, the lower layer protocol attribute associated with a protocol layer lower than a protocol layer associated with the network address, wherein the packet is a request to perform an administrative action; and applying a particular network policy to the packet based on the determined network address and the lower layer protocol attribute, wherein applying the particular network policy includes restricting a scope of the administrative action to resources associated with a particular entity represented by the lower layer protocol attribute.
