Abstract

Data packets are received at a network interface. A source address and a destination address are extracted from each data packet. Thereafter, a first query is performed in an address database to retrieve access group information associated with the source address. A second query is performed in the address database to retrieve resource group information associated with the destination address. Based upon the access group and the resource group, a command is assigned to the data packet. Optionally, the access group information and resource group information are used in connection with an access matrix to assign the command to the data packet.
