摘要 |
A data flow detection device (DD), for an edge equipment element (RP) of a communication network equipped with a network management system, includes detection means (MA) tasked to compare parameters, which are contained in the headers of data packets arriving at the ingress interfaces (IE) of the edge equipment element (RP) associated respectively with interface identifiers, with at least one configuration parameter received from the network management system. In the event where a header parameter of a data packet received at one of the ingress interfaces (IE) is found to be identical with the configuration parameter, the detection means (MA) generate an alarm message, intended for the network management system, where this message includes the identifier of the ingress interface (IE) which has received the data flow and the identifier of the configuration parameter.
