Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for traffic management are provided. An example of a method for traffic management includes receiving a number of policies for data traffic redirection 230 in a data network 100 and authorizing a subset of the number of policies based upon matching a plurality of authorization rules 350 saved in the data network 100, for example, in a management tool 120 and/or a network device 123.
Claims15
A method for data traffic management, comprising:
- receiving a number of policies for data traffic redirection in a data network;
- and
- authorizing a subset of the number of policies based upon matching a plurality of authorization rules saved in the data network.
A data traffic management device, comprising:
- a data network interface;
- a subsystem to receive a number of policies for data traffic redirection, wherein the subsystem is coupled to the data network interface;
- and
- a processing resource of a management tool coupled to the subsystem and the data network interface to authorize a subset of the number of policies based upon a match of a plurality of authorization rules saved in the management tool, wherein to authorize comprises to permit enablement of the subset based upon the match of the plurality of authorization rules and to deny enablement of policies that do not match the plurality of authorization rules.

A data traffic management system, comprising:
- a communication interconnect;
- a network device to receive a number of policies for data traffic redirection coupled to the communication interconnect;
- and
- a management tool to authorize a subset of the number of policies for data traffic redirection by a number of switches conditioned on a match with a plurality of saved authorization rules.
