Abstract
At least one first frame of a first data flow can be received and passed to a general processor to inspect the at least one first frame. A flow acceleration request can be received including a set of conditions for accelerated processing, by a network processor, of a set of frames in the first data flow subsequent to the at least one first frame. At least one subsequent frame in the set of frames can be processed, using the network processor, in connection with forwarding of the subsequent frame to at least one remote network node, where processing of the subsequent frame is accelerated relative to processing of the at least one first frame and based, at least in part, on the set of conditions included in the flow acceleration request.
