Abstract
Methods, apparati, and computer-readable media for associating computer network identifications with network policies. A plurality of network detectors (3) are coupled to a client computer (1). A network probe (4), coupled to the network detectors (3), associates each network identification revealed by a network detector (3) with a netspec. A netspec database (6), coupled to the network probe (4), associates netspecs with locations. A policy guide (8), coupled to the network probe (4), associates network identifications with locations. A network interface module (9), coupled to the policy guide (8), implements network policies based upon locations.
