Abstract
Using an authentication server to program network elements, such as a network node, in accordance with software-defined networking techniques in order to establish a traffic flow rule for a communication device or user of the communication device. After successfully authenticating a communication device or user, the authentication server and/or network node may use an identifier received at the authentication server in connection with the authentication procedure in order to obtain a traffic flow rule for the communication device. The traffic flow rule may be established at the network node or forwarded to a second network node configured to receive network packets from the communication device. The first identifier may be any one of a user identifier identifying a user, an application identifier identifying an application, and a device identifier unique to the communication device.
