Systems and methods for media service delivery

A method of optimizing data traffic destined for an external computing device in a network, the method comprising:

• receiving data destined for the external computing device from the network;
• identifying a selected media session in the received data;
• processing the selected media session;
• and
• transmitting the processed selected media session data to the external computing device via the network.

An apparatus for optimizing data traffic destined for an external computing device in a network, the apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• a network interface;
• and
• at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the network interface, the processor configured to:
• receive data destined for the external computing device from the network;
• identify a selected media session in the received data;
• process the selected media session;
• and
• transmit the processed selected media session data to the external computing device via the network.

A system for optimizing data traffic in a network, the system comprising:

• a switch element configured to receive data destined for the external computing device from the network;
• a packet processing element configured to:
• identify a selected media session in the received data;
• process the selected media session;
• and
• wherein the switch element is further configured to transmit the processed data to the external computing device via the network.
