Abstract

There is provided a system and method for diverting established communication sessions, which includes: receiving at least one packet from a communication session; determining the state of the communication session; if the state of the communication session is diverted, bridging the at least one packet to a service chain; if the state of the communication session has been prohibited from being diverted, forwarding the at least one packet to an endpoint; and otherwise, if the state of the communication session is a state prior to the divert decision, saving the at least one packet and determining whether the communication session is a candidate to be diverted to the service chain.
