Abstract
For enhancing security in a complex network by a computer processor device, a processor collaborates with at least one additional processor device in a higher hierarchical order in the complex network. A Media Access Control (MAC) address of an offending network device is shared between the processor devices such that access of the offending network device to portions of the complex network under the supervisory control of the processor devices may be subsequently blocked.
