Communication policy enforcement in a data network

摘要

A device is configured to receive authorization information from a first network device and to receive a request that data units sent to a destination device contain authorization information, where the request is received from a second network device. The device is configured to assemble authorized data units by associating the authorization information with content intended for a destination device, where the content can be exchanged with the destination device during authorized communication. The device is configured to provide at least one of the authorized data units to the second network device so that the second network device can establish the authorized communication between the device and the destination device.
