Abstract
The present disclosure combines Software Defined Networks (SDN) concepts with Security concepts. The coordination between SDN and Security provides a myriad of advantageous use cases. One exemplary use case involves providing a fast path at network speeds using SDN by routing network traffic to bypass a security appliance once the security appliance determines that the security appliance no longer needs to inspect the network traffic. Another exemplary use case involves remote provisioning of security zones.
