Abstract

In some embodiments, a processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions to be executed by a processor. The code causes the processor to receive, at an edge device (181;182,183), a first data unit having a characteristic. The code causes the processor to identify, at a first time, an identifier of a service module associated with the characteristic in response to each entry from a set of entries within a flow table not being associated with the characteristic. The code causes the processor to define an entry in the flow table associated with the characteristic and the identifier of the service module. The code causes the processor to send the first data unit to the service module. The code causes the processor to receive, at the edge device (181;182,183), a second data unit having the characteristic, and send the second data unit to the service module based on the entry.
