Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for the detection of different states of a session comprising a bidirectional flow of network traffic between client devices so as to enable a network device to apply different network policies to different states of the session. In one example, a computing device identifies multiple states of a session and defines a plurality of network policies. Each network policy defines performance requirements for network traffic during each state of the session. A network device receives the plurality of network policies and determines a state of the session. The network device selects a path based on the performance requirements of the network policy associated with the determined state of the session. The network device forwards traffic associated with the session along the selected path while the session is in the determined state.
