A network access apparatus includes a processor and an interface to receive a plurality of packets that originate from a client device. The apparatus also includes a network access module that is to perform a forwarding function on the plurality of packets, to determine whether the received plurality of packets comprise a predetermined type of communication, and to instruct the control module to analyze the plurality of packets in response to the plurality of packets being determined as comprising the predetermined type of communication. The apparatus further includes a control module that is to determine a feature of the plurality of packets received from the network access module, to determine whether the feature matches a configuration of a plurality of predetermined configurations, and to perform a predefined action on the plurality of packets in response to the feature matching the configuration.
