Abstract
In one embodiment, a network frame is received at flow aware navigator between a client computer and a server computer. The flow aware navigator is configured to determine whether the network frame should be forwarded to one or more network services for processing before forwarding the network frame to the server computer. If the flow aware navigator determines that the network frame should be forwarded to one or more network services for processing before forwarding the network frame to the server computer, the flow aware navigator forwards the network frame to the one or more network services for processing. In response to receiving the processed network frame from the network services, the flow aware navigator then forwards the processed network frame to the server computer.
