DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING PACKETS, FOR A ROUTER OF A COMMUNICATION NETWORK WITH A VIEW TO THE ROUTING OF SUSPECT PACKETS TO DEDICATED ANALYSIS EQUIPMENT

摘要

The device (D) has a control module (MC) for extracting a data packet containing a header with a non-allocated or inaccessible destination address in case of determination of the address by an analysis module (MA). A processing module (MT) associates a chosen replacement destination address with the packet extracted by the control module, where the replacement address is allocated to a packet analysis equipment e.g. honeypot equipment, such that a router (R1) routes to the associated replacement destination address.
