More Information
Summary:A method performed by a network device may include obtaining an Internet Protocol address and a user device identifier associated with a user device, determining that the obtained user device identifier does not match a previous user device identifier associated with the obtained Internet Protocol address, and monitoring packets destined for the obtained Internet Protocol address to determine whether the packets are associated with a streaming application, based on determining that the obtained user device identifier does not match the previous user device identifier. The method may further include detecting a packet destined for the obtained Internet Protocol address, where the packet is associated with a streaming application and where the packet is received from a particular network device and signaling the particular network device to stop sending packets associated with the streaming application and destined for the obtained Internet Protocol address.
