Abstract
A device may receive or generate a message for routing to a destination on a communication channel. The communication channel may have been established between a source and the destination. The device may perform a first determination of policy information related to at least one of the message, the destination, or the source of the message. The policy information may describe an action for a network device to perform. The device may associate a policy token with the message. The policy token may describe or identify the policy information. The device may provide the message with the associated policy token to the network device on the communication channel to cause the network device to perform a second determination of the policy information based on the policy token, to perform the action described by the policy information, and to provide the message on the communication channel.
