Abstract
Information describing a rule to be applied to a traffic stream is received at an edge network device. The traffic stream is received at the edge network device. A schema is applied to the traffic stream at the edge network device. It is determined that a rule triggering condition has been met. The rule is applied to the traffic stream, at the edge network device, in response to the rule triggering condition having been met. At least one of determining that the rule triggering event has taken place or applying the rule is performed based on the applied schema.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at an edge network device, information describing a rule to be applied to a traffic stream received at the edge network device;
- receiving the traffic stream at the edge network device;
- applying a schema to the received traffic stream at the edge network device;
- determining that a rule triggering condition has been met by the received traffic stream;
- and
- applying the rule to the traffic stream, at the edge network device, in response to having met the rule triggering condition,
- wherein at least one of determining that the rule triggering condition has been met or applying the rule to the traffic stream is performed based on the applied schema.
An apparatus comprising:
- a network interface unit to enable communication over a network on behalf of an edge network device;
- and
- a processor coupled to the network interface unit, to:
- receive, via the network interface unit, information describing a rule to be applied to a traffic stream;
- receive the traffic stream via the network interface unit;
- apply a schema to the received traffic stream;
- determine that a rule triggering condition has been met by the received traffic stream;
- and
- apply the rule to the traffic stream in response to having met the rule triggering condition,
- wherein based on the applied schema, the processor determines that the rule triggering condition has been met or applies the rule to the traffic stream.
One or more computer readable storage media encoded with software comprising computer executable instructions and when the software is executed operable to:
- receive, at an edge network device, information describing a rule to be applied to a traffic stream;
- receive the traffic stream at the edge network device;
- apply a schema to the received traffic stream;
- determine that a rule triggering condition has been met by the received traffic stream;
- and
- apply the rule to the traffic stream, at the edge network device, in response to having met the rule triggering condition,
- wherein at least one of the instructions operable to determine that the rule triggering condition has been met or the instructions operable to apply the rule to the traffic stream are based on the applied schema.
