  • Transparent flow based application navigator
    Patent number: 9130866
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a network frame is received at flow aware navigator between a client computer and a server computer. The flow aware navigator is configured to determine whether the network frame should be forwarded to one or more network services for processing before forwarding the network frame to the server computer. If the flow aware navigator determines that the network frame should be forwarded to one or more network services for processing before forwarding the network frame to the server computer, the flow aware navigator forwards the network frame to the one or more network services for processing. In response to receiving the processed network frame from the network services, the flow aware navigator then forwards the processed network frame to the server computer.

  • SYSTEM FOR DISTRIBUTING FLOW TO DISTRIBUTED SERVICE NODES USING A UNIFIED APPLICATION IDENTIFIER
    Publication number: 20140237137
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining a flow, identifying an application associated with the flow, and identifying a first unique application identifier (UAID) for the application. The first UAID uniquely identifies the application. The method also includes adding the first UAID to the flow, and routing the flow through a network after adding the first UAID to the flow.
