1 destination nodes and contextual information for said
2 individual node-to-node transmissions; and
3
4 applying access rules to said assembled multi-
5 packet communications in determinations of whether said
6 individual node-to-node transmissions are restricted
7 transmissions, including basing said determinations on
8 said identifying said source and destination nodes and
9 said contextual information, wherein said steps of
10 monitoring, assembling, identifying and applying are
11 executed non-intrusively with respect to said restricted
12 transmissions and with respect to node-to-node
13 transmissions determined to be unrestricted transmissions
14 upon applying said access rules to said assembled multi-
15 packet communications of said unrestricted
16 transmissions, such that traffic flow of data packets from
17 said source nodes to said destination nodes is unaffected
18 by said steps.

20 11. A method of providing access control to
21 resources that are internal to and external of a network of
22 nodes, including computing devices of users of said
23 network, said method comprising steps of:
24
25 generating a rules base related to restricting access
26 to said resources by said nodes of said network, including
27 forming a first set of rules specific to access to external
28 resources and a second set of rules specific to access
29 internal resources;
30
31 monitoring transmissions that include one of said
32 computing devices;
33
34 acquiring information regarding each said
35 transmission, including determining information relating
36 to at least Layers 2, 3 and 7 of the ISO model, wherein
