Abstract
Embodiments described herein allow reduced latency and computational costs by identifying a slice associated with a packet and determining an action to be performed with respect to the packet without having to perform deep packet inspection on the packet. An aspect of the present disclosure is a method comprising receiving a packet including a slice identifier corresponding to a slice of a network, the slice identifier having a plurality of bits; determining a bit value for each bit in a subset of the plurality of bits; and performing an action with respect to the packet based on the bit value of at least one bit in the subset.
