Abstract
A traffic selector table for a network switch is populated with one or more entries that each identifies a tiered service. A traffic flow that matches an entry in the table is identified by the switch. The matched traffic flow is redirected to an intrusion prevention device to determine whether the traffic presents a threat to the network. The switch detects a condition in network traffic flowing through the switch. The traffic selector table is dynamically modified in response to the detected condition.
