Abstract
A network device may receive a packet associated with a traffic flow of a session that includes session identification information for the session. The network device may determine to offload subsequent packets associated with the traffic flow using offloading indicators and/or a data model. The network device may store, using a data structure, the session identification information with other session identification information for other sessions that have been selected for offloading, and may provide the packet to a device. The network device may receive another packet associated with the traffic flow, and may determine to offload the other packet by determining that the other packet includes the session identification information. The device may offload the other packet to permit the other packet to traverse through the network device without the network device performing security checks on the other packet, and may provide the other packet to the device.
