Abstract

The present invention is related to a system and method for examining a communication stream between two nodes for a protocol of interest. If a protocol of interest is found, the communication stream is diverted to a divert host. If a protocol of interest is not found, the stream passes without diversion. By way of example, the invention is shown to work with TCP and UDP.
