Abstract
Data flows in a virtualized computing environment are efficiently updated by a hardware-based networking device configured to disaggregate processing of data packets of the data flows from hosts of the virtualized computing environment. A connection table is accessed that defines connection flows for data packets having a source from an endpoint in a virtual network of the virtualized computing environment or a destination to the endpoint in the virtual network of the virtualized computing environment. The hardware-based networking device re-simulates full packet processing paths for each of the flows in the connection table and updates the flows in the connection table to ensure that the flows in the connection table implement policies of the virtualized computing environment that were updated after corresponding flows in the connection table were added to the connection table.
