Abstract
A method for packet filtering can include establishing at least one policy in a centralized policy management framework (PMF), wherein the policy includes at least one policy condition, monitoring data traffic, determining if the data traffic at least substantially meets one of the policy conditions, sending a trigger to the PMF, if at least one of the policy conditions is at least substantially met, generating an enforcement decision at the PMF, wherein the enforcement decision includes at least one enforcement action, sending the enforcement decision to an enforcement function, and enforcing the enforcement decision. A policy-enabled deep packet inspection system also is disclosed.
