Abstract
A virtual provider edge server may include different modules that implement a hybrid provider edge. A flow detection module may sample received traffic through a server and adaptively detect flows to be offloaded. An offloading module may be an SDN controller that controls the flow tables of a switch that data traffic is offloaded to.
