Abstract

A system provides for event-driven redirection of IP service flows and receives, by a DHCP server, an add event corresponding to a specified MAC address; provides a new DHCP lease for the specified address; transmits, by the DHCP server and to an Internet gateway, new instructions comprising one or more of a new IP address, subnet mask, and specified DNS servers; and, through DNS services and routing, redirects all network traffic originating from the Internet gateway to a specified destination. Some embodiments receive a remove event corresponding to the specified address; provide a second new DHCP lease for the specified address; transmit to an Internet gateway, second new instructions comprising one or more of a second new IP address, second subnet mask, and second specified DNS servers; and, through DNS services and routing, direct all network traffic originating from the Internet gateway back to unfettered, but monitored, Internet access.
