Filed:

Jul 13, 2020

Appl. No.:

16/927761

Inventors:

- Santa Clara CA, US
Marc Joseph Benoit - Santa Clara CA, US

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
H04L 12/851
H04L 29/08
H04L 12/721
H04L 12/715

Abstract:

Techniques for packet classification for network routing are disclosed. In some embodiments, packet classification for network routing includes receiving packets associated with a new flow at a security controller from a network device, in which the network device performs packet forwarding; classifying the flow; and determining an action for the flow based on a policy (e.g., a security policy). In some embodiments, the network device is a Software Defined Network (SDN) network device (e.g., a packet forwarding device that supports the OpenFlow protocol or another protocol).
