Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling the flow of information content in a network are described. The system includes a tracking module that remembers a sensitivity level of the information content and a location of that information content with respect to the system. A marking module is included that receives the sensitivity level from the tracking module upon a call for the information content. The marking module marks a sensitivity tag in a packet header associated with the information content according to the sensitivity level. Flow of the information content in the network is controlled according to the sensitivity tag.
