Packet filtering by session setup association in a wireless communication system

A communication system comprising:

• a requesting device configured to transfer a request for a plurality of data packets from a source;
• and,
• a control system in communication with the requesting device and configured to:
• receive the request for the plurality of data packets to be transferred by the source for delivery to the requesting device;
• generate session information associating the source of the plurality of data packets with the requesting device;
• receive a first subset of the plurality of data packets from the source for delivery to a destination identified by the first subset of the plurality of data packets;
• identify a destination device based on the destination identified by the first subset of the plurality of data packets;
• process the session information to determine whether the destination device is associated with the source of the first subset of the plurality of data packets;
• transfer the first subset of the plurality of data packets for delivery to the destination device if the destination device is associated with the source;
• receive a second subset of the plurality of data packets from the source for delivery to a second destination identified by the second subset of plurality of data packets;
• identify a second destination device based on the second destination identified by the second subset of the plurality of data packets;
• process the session information to determine whether the second destination device is associated with the source of the second subset of the plurality of data packets;
• and
• transfer the second subset of the plurality of data packets for delivery to the second destination device if the second destination device is associated with the source.

A communication control system comprising:

• an interface configured to receive from a requesting device a request for a plurality of data packets to be transferred by a source for delivery to the requesting device, receive a first subset of the plurality of data packets from the source for delivery to a destination identified by the first subset of the plurality of data packets, and transfer the first subset of the plurality of data packets for delivery to a destination device if the destination device is associated with the source;
• a processing system configured to generate session information associating the source of the plurality of data packets with the requesting device, identify the destination device based on the destination identified by the first subset of the plurality of data packets, and process the session information to determine whether the destination device is associated with the source of the first subset of the plurality of data packets;
• the interface further configured to receive a second subset of the plurality of data packets from the source for delivery to a second destination identified by the second subset of the plurality of data packets, and transfer the second subset of the plurality of data packets for delivery to a second destination device if the second destination device is associated with the source;
• and
• the processing system configured to identify the second destination device based on the second destination identified by the second subset of the plurality of data packets, and process the session information to determine whether the second destination device is associated with the source of the second subset of the plurality of data packets.
