Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for locally applying endpoint-specific policies to an endpoint in a network environment. A network device local to one or more endpoints in a network environment can receive from a centralized network controller one or more network-wide endpoint policies. A first endpoint of the one or more endpoints can be configured to inject policy metadata into first data traffic. Policy metadata injected into the first traffic data can be received from the first endpoint. The network device can determine one or more first endpoint-specific polices for the first endpoint by evaluation the first policy metadata with respect to the one or more network-wide endpoint policies. As follows, the one or more first endpoint-specific policies can be applied to control data traffic associated with the first endpoint.
