Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, systems, and computer program products for event management. In a method, a token is obtained at a first agent device that is included in a network system, the token is for authenticating a first packet that is transmitted in the network system, and the first packet is generated according to a first network format. A second packet is generated based on the first packet and the token according to a second network format. The second packet is transmitted to a second agent device that is included in the network system, here both of the first and second agent devices support the first and second network formats. With these embodiments, the packet may be authenticated in a more effective way.
