1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a first computing device from a plurality of network devices, network data associated with a second computing device in communication with the plurality of network devices, wherein the network data comprises: an identifier associated with the second computing device and metadata indicative of at least one network parameter associated with a first network device of the plurality of network devices;
determining, based on the metadata and the at least one network parameter, that the first network device is to discard additional network data received from the second computing device;
sending, to the first network device, a first instruction signal, wherein the first instruction signal causes the first network device to discard the additional network data received from the second computing device; and
sending, to a second network device of the plurality of network devices, a second instruction signal, wherein the second instruction signal causes the second network device to process the additional network data received from the second computing device.
