ABSTRACT:
According to one embodiment, a method comprises capturing, by an eavesdropping device, a packet communicated over a communication network. The eavesdropping device scans the packet's payload, and determines if an identifier is included in the packet's payload that identifies the packet as containing content of interest to the eavesdropping device. Based at least in part on determining that the packet's payload includes such identifier, the eavesdropping device uses the content of interest contained in the packet's payload. In one embodiment, a method comprises forming a packet containing content intended for an eavesdropping device, wherein the packet includes a header portion and a payload portion. The payload portion comprises a) a predefined identifier that identifies the packet as containing the content intended for the eavesdropping device, b) the content intended for the eavesdropping device, and c) an authentication token. The packet is directed via a communication network to a destination.
