Processing data packets using a policy based network path

Abstract:

Provided are methods and systems for processing data packets in a data network using a policy-based network path. The method may commence with receiving the data packet associated with a service session from a client. The method may continue with determining data packet information associated with the data packet. The method may further include determining the policy-based network path for the data packet based on the data packet information and one or more packet processing criteria. The method may continue with routing, based on the determination of the policy-based network path, the data packet along the policy-based network path.
