Abstract: A method for synchronizing a binding process among a group of network devices connected to a server that is multi-homed to the group of network devices in provided. The method is executed by a first network device among the group of network devices and includes: receiving, from the server, network traffic associated with a host executing on the server; configuring, using the network traffic, a binding between the first network device and the host and setting a binding status of the first network device for the host to a first status; and transmitting, in response to the setting and via an out-of-band (OOB) channel to a second network device among the plurality of network devices, first binding instructions for causing the second network device set a binding status of the second network device for the host to a second status different from the first status.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for ensuring the quality of services being provided by a protected network of computers during an ongoing security breach is provided. The quality of the services is ensured by performing secure Quality of Service actions on data packets on the network. The sQoS actions depend on whether the data packets correspond to an attack on the computer to which they are directed, called the destination computer. If the data packet corresponds to an attack, then the actions also depend on the type of attack. In case there is no attack, the actions depend on the history of attacks by data packets that had originated from the same source computer and were directed towards the same destination computer. Supported actions include HardenFW, ControlBW and ConnectionLimit.
