Abstract
A network device receives a packet from a client device, and identifies, based on receiving the packet, a destination of the packet. The network device determines, based on information included in an application cache, an application associated with the destination of the packet, where the first network device, the client device, and the application cache are included in a first local network. The network device determines, based on the information included in the application cache, a policy rule associated with the application, and applies the policy rule to the packet.
