Service insertion
NOTE:
Service insertion is supported on the following switches:
- HPE 2920 Switch
- HPE 3810 Switch
- HPE 5400 Switch
- HPE 5400R Switch
Service Insertion is supported in v1-compatible mode.
Service Insertion is transparently inserting an external service into a traffic flow or into the traffic processing pipeline:
-
Flows are redirected to a service for inspection and then reinjected to the forwarding pipeline
-
Possible services include IPS, Network Protector SDN Application, web filtering, and traffic analyzers
Service Insertion is handled by the ASIC via a tunnel or Fast Path, and does not incur any processor processing overhead.
