ABSTRACT:
A method of performing policy enforcement by a switch, including receiving a plurality of frames, examining at least some of the received frames to determine whether they require non-default policy enforcement according to pre-programmed policy rules which pertain to at least one protocol, and forwarding, with default policy handling, at least some of the received frames which belong to the protocol to which the rules pertain, regardless of the policy enforcement they require.
