Abstract
Examples disclosed herein relate to a method for defining an ingress access policy at an ingress network device based on instructions from an egress network device. The egress network device receives data packets directed to a first entity from a second entity connected to an ingress network device. Each data packet transmitted includes a source role tag corresponding to the second entity. At the egress network device, the data packets may be dropped based on the enforcement of an egress access policy. When the number of data packets that are being dropped increases beyond a pre-defined threshold, the egress network device transmits a command to the ingress network device instructing the ingress network device to create a restriction on the transmission of subsequent data packets. The command is transmitted in a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Flow Specification (FlowSpec) route.
