Abstract
Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage the deployment and use of application identifier tokens in a distributed firewall environment. In one implementation, a computing environment generates tokens associated with application types executing on virtual nodes in the computing environment. After generating the tokens, the computing environment provides at least one token of the tokens to each of the virtual nodes based on at least one application type executing on the virtual node. When a communication is identified in the virtual node associated with an application, the virtual node may encapsulate the communication and a corresponding token in a packet and forward the packet via a virtual network interface associated with the virtual node.
