Abstract
Embodiments are directed towards managing communication over a network with a packet traffic management device that performs delayed proxy action. The PTMD includes a buffer for buffering network traffic. Also, the PTMD includes proxy data paths and standard data paths. Network policies associated with the network flows may be determined using the buffered data. If a determined network policy includes proxy policy rules it is a proxy network policy. Then the network flows are associated with a proxy data path. If the buffer is exhausted, the network flow is associated with a standard data path before a policy is determined. Otherwise, if the network policy includes only standard policy rules, the network flows are moved to a standard data path. After the network flow is associated with a data path, the network traffic may be communicated until it is closed or otherwise terminated.
