  • Patent number: 9954767
    Abstract: In one implementation, an endpoint or client device sends a control message into a network to control how a subsequent flow from the endpoint is handled by one or more nodes in the network. A node in the network receives the control message including an encapsulated command and a counter value and modifies the counter value. The node compares the modified counter value to a predetermined limit. When the modified counter value is equal to the predetermined limit, the control message is designated for execution of the encapsulated command. When the modified counter value exceeds the predetermined limit, the control message is forwarded to a subsequent node.
