Abstract:

A system receives suspect traffic information pertaining to possible network threats. A router detects and redirects suspect traffic from within a subnetwork to an interrogation module. The interrogation module receives the redirected suspect traffic and identifies the source device from within the subnetwork. The interrogation module can also identify the type of suspect traffic, the original destination of the suspect traffic and the protocol type of the packet. Suspect traffic information can be updated and the router can be reconfigured to accommodate the updated information.
