Abstract
A technique for accommodating network tagging technology includes receiving a packet that includes a network tag at a modifying node capable of modifying the packet in relation to the network tag; determining whether the packet is to be forwarded to a non-recognizing node in a network, the non-recognizing node not being capable of processing packets with network tags at a desired speed or at all; and in response to determining that the packet is to be forwarded to the non-recognizing node, modifying the packet to obtain a modified packet and sending the modified packet to the non-recognizing node, wherein the modified packet is capable of being processed by the non-recognizing node at the desired speed. After being processed by the non-recognizing node, the modified packet is received by a restoring node, where the cached information is used to restore the network tag of the packet.
