Abstract
A first component of a network device may provide an offload request to a second component of the network device to offload a data flow from the first component. The offload request may direct the second component to provide the data flow towards a destination device and bypass the first component. The first component may receive a beacon from the second component. The beacon may identify information regarding one or more data flows offloaded from the first component. The first component may process the one or more data flows based on the information regarding the one or more data flows included in the beacon and without receiving the one or more data flows.
