Abstract
Policy rules are disseminated on a network and are received by one or more devices on the network. Each device is configured with a proxy agent that translates the policy data into a format that is meaningful to the device. The agent translates the policy rules into an access list that generates permit and deny filters that determine the access that the device is allowed on the network.
