A system and method for policy based management for a high security MANET comprises policy managers, each performing policy decision-making and policy enforcement using multiple policies, containers, each related to an application and each container having one policy manager, nodes, each having an infrastructure and at least one container, and dynamic community building blocks associating the containers having a same application, the containers being in different nodes, the associated containers maintained by the dynamic community building blocks on a secure network. Each container can define a security boundary around the node. Each container can be a lightweight virtual machine. The system can also have a special container having a policy manager only evaluating policies for conflicts. In one embodiment, a node can consist of multiple network devices and each network device is a container of its own.

System and method for policy based management for a high security MANET

A method for controlling network access comprises receiving a request to allow a communication flow over a network and temporarily allowing the communication flow over the network before a response to the request is transmitted. Further, the availability of one or more network resources may be determined and compared with resources required for the requested communication flow. Priority of the communication flow may also be determined, and the temporarily allowed communication flow may be responded to based on the available resources, the requested resources, and the priority.
