Abstract
Methods and systems for managing packets using lower layer protocol attributes include determining a network address and a lower layer protocol attribute associated with a packet and applying a particular network policy to the packet based on the determined network address and the lower layer protocol attribute. The lower layer protocol attribute is associated with a protocol layer lower than a protocol layer associated with the network address.
