ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for establishing communication (across a network) between a first network device and a second network device apply policy data received from a policy device (e.g., a policy server), thus offloading significant functionality from the policy device. Offloading such functionality reduces the processing required by the policy device, thus improving network performance. Such systems permit network access admission control in a scalable manner.
