Abstract

In an example embodiment, a Software Defined Networking (SDN) application identifies a domain based on a destination address of a packet that is associated with a primary service. The domain corresponds to the primary service, and the primary service is configured to trigger one or more support flows from one or more ancillary services. The SDN application identifies the one or more support flows based on the domain, and generates one or more rules for distribution to one or more network elements that handle packets of the one or more support flows from the one or more ancillary services.
