Abstract
Systems and methods for virtualizing edge node functionality as a service for handling content delivery are described herein. An edge node receives a packet and determines if it associated with an established session and if it should be offloaded for processing. An offload status indicator and/or session context information can be added to the offloaded packet and it is transmitted to a subsequent edge node.
