Abstract:
A network device obtains information, associated with blacklisted domains, that includes blacklisted domain identifiers, and sinkhole server identifiers associated with the blacklisted domain identifiers. The network device obtains a set of rules that specify match criteria, associated with the blacklisted domains, that include source network addresses and/or destination network addresses for comparison to packet source network addresses and/or packet destination network addresses associated with incoming packets. The set of rules specify actions to perform based on a result of comparing the match criteria and the packet source network addresses and/or the packet destination network addresses for the incoming packets. The network device receives packets, examines a packet source network address and/or a packet destination network address associated with the packets, compares the packet source network address and/or the packet destination network address to the match criteria, and performs an action based on a result of the comparison.
