Abstract:
A device identification module identifies devices on a remote network, where the remote network may use Network Address Translation techniques. The device identification module can receive a list of devices on the remote network. The devices in the remote network can be identified by the device classification module based, at least in part, on the device classification and one or more of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) information for the remote network, port sequences used in Network Address Translation on the remote network, and a live Uniform Resource Locator (URL) check performed on the remote network.
