Abstract

A method for managing data traffic in a computing network includes determining, by a determining function, processing information for processing one or more packets of an identified flow; stripping header information from the one or more packets of the identified flow by a stripping function; adding tag information to the one or more packets of the identified flow by a tag adding function; storing a mapping between the tag information and the header information in a cache by a mapping function, and processing the one or more packets of the identified flow by the one or more network functions according to the determined processing information. The one or more network functions query the cache using the tag information to retrieve information associated with the tag information from the cache if required to process the one or more packets.
