An apparatus having a corresponding method and computer program comprises
network interfaces; a processor interface; a control circuit to remove
the processor interface from associations between the interfaces and a
domain; a classifier to assign codes to packets addressed to the
processor interface, wherein the each code represents a protocol and
comprises a flag; an allowance circuit to set the flag in the code for a
packet when the packet comprises a protocol associated with the network
interface that is the source of the packet, and to clear the flag
otherwise; and an egress circuit to receive packets addressed to the
processor interface, to drop the received packets having a code
comprising a flag that is clear, and to transfer the received packets
having a code comprising a flag that is set to the processor interface.
