Method and network element for improved access to communication networks

The invention relates to a method and network element that can be used to increase, in different aspects, protection for the communications network in a single network element. The element can manage and provide the mechanisms necessary for the protection of communications, users and devices, without requiring the collaboration of end systems (i.e. in a transparent manner for said systems). The invention relates to a novel physical and logical architecture for the network element with different databases and verification and learning mechanisms, offering much greater protection, management and automation capabilities than current systems.
