Abstract

A method for routing packets from an endpoint to a gateway includes the step of receiving a filtering table. An outbound packet is intercepted. The outbound packet is transmitted to a client application, responsive to the filtering table. The client application transmits the outbound packet to a gateway responsive to an application of a policy to the outbound packet.
