NETWORK TRAFFIC CONTROL BASED ON APPLICATION PATH

Abstract:

A network device may receive network traffic associated with a session, wherein the session is associated with a network. The network device may determine, from the network traffic, an application path that is associated with the session, wherein the application path is associated with a communication protocol and an application protocol. The network device may determine, based on policy information that is associated with the application path, whether the network traffic associated with the session is capable of being communicated via the network using the communication protocol and the application protocol. The network device may perform, based on whether the network traffic is determined to be capable of being communicated, an action associated with enabling or preventing communication of the network traffic.
