Abstract
A system provides a request for a policy from a policy server, and receives the policy from the policy server. The policy indicates processing to be applied to a traffic partition passing through the device. The system configures the policy within a routing structure associated with the traffic partition for the policy in the device, and routes a stream of traffic for the routing structure in accordance with the policy for that routing structure.
