Abstract
A flow policy service that allows clients to define policies for packet flows to, from, and within their virtual networks on a provider network. Logic may be embedded in a flow policy that dictates what happens to a packet as it enters the network, or after the packet leaves an appliance. Via the service, a client may define conditional rules that specify different paths that packets should follow on the provider network according to conditional evaluations of information about the packets, for example source and/or destination endpoints of the packets, or output codes from appliances that process the packets.
