Claim 0:
1. A method for managing access to network resources in a network using one or more processors to execute instructions that are configured to cause actions, wherein the execution of the instructions enables performance of actions, comprising:
providing a plurality of mesh agents for an overlay network, wherein each mesh agent is hosted on one or more network computers in the overlay network; and
in response to a network interface providing one or more raw datagrams to a mesh agent in the overlay network, performing further actions, including:
determining a payload protocol based on one or more payloads for the one or more raw datagrams;
determining one or more payload datagrams included in the one or more raw datagrams based on the payload protocol; and
determining a request from a client based on the one or more payload datagrams and the payload protocol; and

in response to an infrastructure security computer determining validation information that validates the request, performing further actions, including:
modifying the one or more payload datagrams to conform to one or more overlay network policies of the infrastructure security computer;
updating the one or more modified payload datagrams to include one or more updated-payloads based on the payload protocol and the validation information;
generating one or more new raw datagrams that include the one or more updated payload datagrams; and
forwarding the one or more new raw datagram to a next mesh agent identified with the validation information, wherein the one or more new raw datagrams are configured to bypass communication management by a kernel level of an operating system and to directly communicate over a network interface with the next mesh agent.
