Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for using network flows records exported from network routers to provide information about the traffic entering/exiting the device. Network routers or hubs can be configured to authorize or deny various types of network traffic between two network devices whose traffic transits via the router. The method presented describes the creation and application of access control lists on the router from information derived from the network flow information exported by the network router.
