Zusammenfassung:A network device may receive an instruction to update a data structure implemented by the network device and update the data structure based on receiving the instruction. The data structure may include a routing instruction to direct the network device to provide a data flow to a server device for processing. The network device may receive the data flow destined for a destination device; determine the routing instruction based on at least a portion of an internet protocol (IP) address associated with the data flow and based on the data structure; execute the routing instruction to provide the data flow to the server device and to cause the data flow to be processed by the server device to form a processed data flow; and receive the processed data flow and provide the processed data flow towards the destination device.
