Abstract

Generally described, the present disclosure relates to communications. More specifically, this disclosure relates to application level admission overload control. In one illustrative embodiment, intelligence can be embedded into a communication system so that it can detect and prevent network attacks without the need of costly network and firewall appliances. The communication system can control the in-flow of network packets to help prevent system overload situations through a packet oriented admission policy, connected oriented admission policy or both. By doing so, it not only makes the communication system more robust, secure and cost effective, but also can prevent service interruptions. This can reduce support calls and prove cost-effective to the customer as well as a solution provider. The communication system can protect network applications from internal network traffic and/or attacks.
