Zusammenfassung:Described herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance inline processing of data packets by a virtual switch. In at least one implementation, a virtual switch receives a data packet and initiates a flow process with a plurality of flow operations on the data packet. In a flow operation of the plurality of flow operations, the virtual switch will determine whether the data packet qualifies for a learn action and, if the packet fails to qualify, forwards the data packet to a next flow operation in the plurality of flow operations, and if the packet does qualify, applies the learn action and forwards the data packet to a next flow operation.
