Abstract
The present invention is a directory server for monitoring network access requests, which includes a storage device for storing data items and an identifier associated with a monitoring node for at least a selected data item of the data items; a communication device for transmitting signals to the monitoring node; and a processing device, coupled to the storage device and the communication device. The processing device receives a network access request for the selected data item and, responsive to receipt of the request, automatically transmits a signal notifying the monitoring node of the request via the communication device, thereby enabling the monitoring node, e.g., a third party, to enforce traffic class priorities and access characteristics of the network.
