Abstract
A method to implement policy-based network traffic management includes receiving data pertaining to a network device at a network traffic manager, the first data being received out-of-band of network traffic. Second data is extracted from the network traffic. A network traffic management policy is implemented at the network traffic manager utilizing the first and second data.
Claims52
A method to implement policy-based network traffic management, the method including:
- receiving first data pertaining to a network device at a network traffic manager, the first data being received out-of-band of network traffic;
- extracting second data from the network traffic;
- and
- implementing a network traffic management policy at the network traffic manager utilizing the first and second data.
A system to implement policy-based network traffic management, the system including:
- a profile to receive and store first data pertaining to a network device for access by a network traffic manager, the first data being received out-of-band of network traffic;
- the network traffic manager to extract second data from the network traffic and to implement a network traffic management policy utilizing the first and second data.
A system to implement policy-based network traffic management, the system including:
- first means for receiving and storing first data pertaining to a network device, the first data being received out-of-band of network traffic;
- second means for extracting second data from the network traffic and for implementing a network traffic management policy utilizing the first and second data.
The machine-readable medium storing a sequence of instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform a method for implementing policy-based network traffic management, the method including:
- receiving first data pertaining to a network device at a network traffic manager, the first data being received out-of-band of network traffic;
- extracting second data from the network traffic;
- and
- implementing a network traffic management policy at the network traffic manager utilizing the first and second data.
