Patent abstract
Methods and systems for detecting an application associated with a given IP flow and differentially forwarding packets based on determined application are provided. According to one embodiment, an initial Internet Protocol (IP) packet of an IP flow is received by a network device. An application with which the initial IP packet is associated is determined by the network device. Based on the determined application, a forwarding rule to be applied to the initial IP packet is identified by the network device. Thereafter, the initial IP packet and subsequent IP packets associated with the IP flow are forwarded by the network device based on the identified forwarding rule.
