Patent Images
1. A method for network access control, comprising:
- receiving at a network device a SYN packet from a client device over a network, the SYN packet comprising identifying information for the client device;
determining if the client device is a trusted source for the network using the SYN packet;
if the client device is a trusted resource, receiving an acknowledgement (ACK) packet from the client device that includes identifying information for the client device plus an additional value, and identifying information for the network device; and
establishing a connection with the network for the client device,otherwise dropping the SYN packet to deny network access to the client device.

14. A network arrangement, comprising:
-
a network service; and a network device that is configured to; receive a SYN packet from a client device over a network, the SYN packet comprising identifying information for the client device; determine if the client device is a trusted source for the network using the SYN packet; if the client device is a trusted resource, receive an acknowledgement (ACK) packet from the client device that includes identifying information for the client device plus an additional value, and identifying information for the network device; and establish a connection with the network for the client device in such a way that the client device can use the network service, otherwise drop the SYN packet to deny network access to the client device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)

22. A method for network access control, comprising:
-
determining if a client device is a trusted source for the network using a SYN packet, the SYN packet comprising identifying information for the client device; transmitting a SYN/ACK packet to the client device, the SYN/ACK packet comprising;
(a) identifying information for the client device plus an additional value;
(b) a SYN cookie, and (c) identifying information for the network device;receiving an ACK packet from the client device to confirm the establishment of a network connection between a network device and the client device; establishing a connection with the network for the client device; and placing the client device on a black list if the client device is subsequently determined to be an untrusted resource.
