Abstract
A determination is made as to whether an attempt to send a data packet from a computer system has deviated from an established protocol for sending data packets from the computer system is made. The determination includes obtaining a data structure describing the data packet, and, based on invocation of a function to deliver the data packet to a module of a stack of the computer system, the module interfacing network hardware for sending the data packet, checking for presence of a tag placed in the data structure by a component of the stack and indicative of whether the attempt to send the data packet has deviated from the established protocol. Processing is then performed based on the determination of whether the attempt has deviated from the established protocol.
