Abstract
A method and system for managing data traffic and protecting computing assets. The method and system includes intercepting queries and messages, such as EDNS0 queries, and sending probe queries and reply queries to the originating computing device to determine whether the originating computing device may be sufficiently validated so as to justify forwarding resource-intensive queries and messages to the targeted computing device.
