Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for routing traffic to a service in a network including at least one virtual network service. In use, data traffic directed to at least one first component in a network system is received. Further, one or more second components capable of handling the data traffic are identified based on information associated with the data traffic, the one or more second components including one or more virtual services or one or more physical services. Additionally, at least one of the one or more second components is selected to receive the data traffic, based on criteria associated with the at least one of the one or more second components and the information associated with the data traffic. Moreover, the data traffic is sent to the at least one of the one or more second components.
