Abstract

A method for processing packets in a network device includes receiving a packet at the network device, identifying a flow with which the packet is associated, and, based at least in part on the identified flow, selectively causing the packet, or a packet descriptor associated with the packet, to bypass at least a first packet processing unit of the network device.
