PACKET HANDLING BASED ON USER INFORMATION INCLUDED IN PACKET HEADERS BY A NETWORK GATEWAY
Abstract:
The technology disclosed herein enables packet handling based on user information included in packet headers. In a particular embodiment, a method provides, in a gateway to a network environment, establishing a first connection with a first connection endpoint outside of the network environment.
