Methods, systems and computer readable media for discovering edge devices within a network and establishing connectivity between the edge devices and one or more corresponding network services are described. In some implementations, the method can include snooping a received packet to determine whether a source entity of the received packet is known and to determine whether the received packet can be handled by a first processing layer based on a rule set in the first processing layer and configured to be accessed by the first processing layer. The method can also include classifying the packet at the first processing layer when the packet can be handled by the first processing layer, and forwarding the packet to a second processing layer when the packet cannot be handled by the first processing layer.
