Data packet control device for e.g. asymmetric digital subscriber line network, has processing module associating replacement address with extracted packet, where address is allocated to packet equipment so that router routes to address

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The device (D) has a control module (MC) for extracting a data packet containing a header with a non-allocated or inaccessible destination address in case of determination of the address by an analysis module (MA). A processing module (MT) associates a chosen replacement destination address with the packet extracted by the control module, where the replacement address is allocated to a packet analysis equipment e.g. honeypot equipment, such that a router (R1) routes to the associated replacement destination address. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Device for controlling data packets for a router of a communication network (claimed) e.g. wired internet protocol network such as asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) network, for routing the suspect packets towards a packet analysis equipment e.g. honeypot equipment. Can also be used for other type of communication network e.g. radio network, terrestrial network or satellite network. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The configuration of the device permits to effectively control the data packets in the communication network in a reliable manner so as to route the suspect packets towards the analysis equipment in a cost effective manner. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a functional block diagram of a router equipped with a control device.
