Abstract
A computer program product for transmitting data flow in a network between two resources using a processing circuit to perform a method which includes obtaining a data record from a first resource, storing the data record and an associated data record identifier in a first memory, transmitting the data record from a first network to a second network, storing the data record and an associated data record identifier in a second memory, determining by an inline service provider whether the data record is suitable for transmission from a first resource to a second resource; based on determining that the data record is suitable for transmission by the inline service provider transmitting only the data record identifier stored in the second memory to the first switch and retrieving the data record stored in the first memory associated with the data record identifier for transmission to the second resource.
