Abstract:
In one embodiment, an apparatus includes one or more processors and one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media coupled to the one or more processors. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media include instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to perform operations including receiving a user credential from a remote access client within a network and communicating the user credential to an authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) server within the network. The operations also include receiving a user attribute from the AAA server and generating a contextual label based on the user attribute. The contextual label includes routing instructions associated with traffic behavior within the network. The operations further include advertising a control message, which includes the contextual label, to the remote access client.
