Abstract

See full text

Dynamic middleboxes include a network monitor module configured to determine a quality-affective factor in a connection between a client and a server in a network; a processor configured to compare the quality-affective factor to a threshold to determine whether the connection would benefit from a network processing function; and a network control module configured to reconfigure the network to redirect the connection to a middlebox that performs the network processing function if the connection would benefit and further configured to reconfigure the network to exclude the middlebox from the connection if the connection would not benefit.
