摘要:Embodiments of the present invention are directed to enforcing zoning at anetwork adapter of an end point device. Thus, a network adapter can monitor the
communications that are sent and/or received by the adapter and discard
communications that are prohibited based on the zoning rules applicable to the adapter.In some embodiments, zoning configuration information can be defined and stored at acentral entity and sent to the various network adapters. Alternatively, or in addition, eachnetwork adapter can also check outgoing communications to ensure that they include aproper source address. More specifically, outgoing communications may be checked toensure that their source address is the address (or one of the addresses) that areassociated with the network adapter. This can be used to detect and/or preventmalfunctions and/or intentional tampering or hacking.
