Dynamic data flow management based on device identity

A method comprising:

• receiving first communications from a communication device in a local network, the first communications destined for delivery to a destination address in a remote network;
• identifying attributes of the communication device;
• assigning a tag value to the communication device based on the identified attributes;
• and
• inserting the tag value into second communications from the communication device prior to forwarding of the second communications over the local network to the remote network.

A system comprising:

• a local network, the local network providing multiple communication devices access to a remote network;
• a router device disposed in the local network, the router device operable to:
• receive first communications from a first communication device of multiple communication devices, the first communications destined for delivery over the local network to the remote network;
• utilize a map to map a network address obtained from the first communications to a marker assigned to the first communication device;
• tag the first communications with the marker;
• and
• forward the tagged first communications over the local network to the remote network.

Computer-readable storage hardware having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when carried out by computer processor hardware, cause the computer processor hardware to:

• receive first communications from a communication device, the first communications destined for delivery over a first network to a a second network;
• map a network address obtained from the first communications to a marker assigned to the communication device;
• tag the first communications with the marker;
• and
• forward the tagged first communications over the first network to the second network.

A method comprising:

• receiving a marker at a communication device, the marker assigned to the communication device;
• tagging communications from the communication device with the marker, the marker being supplemental data with respect to a network address of the communication device present in the communications;
• and
• forwarding the tagged communications from the communication device over a first network to a destination in a second network.
