Abstract
In some embodiments, a non-transitory processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions to be executed by a processor. The code causes the processor to receive, from a source peripheral processing device, a portion of a data packet having a destination address associated with a destination peripheral processing device. The code causes the processor to identify, based on the destination address, a service to be performed on the portion of the data packet. The code causes the processor to select, based on the service, an identifier of a service module associated with the service. The code further causes the processor to send the portion of the data packet to the service module via a distributed switch fabric such that the service module performs the service on the portion of the data packet and sends the portion of the data packet to the destination peripheral processing device via the distributed switch fabric.
