A network switch detects at least two simultaneous connections on a single network port. The simultaneous connections use different protocols despite using the same port. The network switch mirrors network traffic associated with the simultaneous connections to a security management device on the network. The security management device then determines a source or destination of the network traffic.

A method and system for enforcing host routing settings in a network device comprises network devices having enforcement logic for extracting host routing settings from a DHCP packet issued by a DHCP server to a DHCP client connecting to a network. The network devices generate enforcement rules based on the host routing settings and apply those rules to ports through which the DHCP client connects to the network. The enforcement rules include access control lists having one or more match conditions generated based on the host routing settings.

Enforcing host routing settings on a network device

A network services system () uses frequency tables () to store real-time network performance data such as delay, jitter, loss, loss burstiness, and mean opinion score (MOS) for a real-time communications protocol such as the Real Time Protocol (RTP).

Frequency-table-based storage for network performance data

A system is provided that includes a memorycomprising a baseline topology; and a processorthat selects, from the baseline topology, first and second addresses associated with first and second routersand, respectively, wherein the first routerhas an associated first hop count relative to a selected nodeand the second routeran associated higher second hop count relative to the selected node, transmit test packets having a time to live equal to or greater than the first hop count, receive responses associated with the test packets, and determine, based on the response, whether load balancing is in effect at the first router
