Abstract
A network device includes a processor and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions causing the processor, after execution of the instructions by the processor, to detect the presence of a client connecting to a network and send a packet to the client indicating that access to a Universal Resource Locator (URL) is a prerequisite to the client communicating over the network in response to the client connecting to the network. The packet includes the URL.
