Abstract

This disclosure describes techniques and mechanisms for disclosure describes techniques and mechanisms for optimizing firewall enforcement. The techniques may implement a dynamic detection of Layer 7 processing at one end of the network, alleviating the need to enforce another layer 7 firewall inspection at the other end, thereby saving processing and network resources. The techniques enable firewalls and policies to be statically defined and located in one place.
