Claim 7:
8. A wireless access point comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors operably coupled to the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
receive a first packet for an application;
generate, based on the application of the first packet, an entry in an application server address cache specifying an address of an application server that hosts the application and a forwarding action to send traffic for the application to the application server via a local breakout path instead of tunneling the traffic to a gateway connected to the application server;
receive a second packet for the application;
configure, in response to determining that the second packet matches the entry in the application server address cache, a packet flow for the application including the forwarding action to send traffic associated with the packet flow for the application to the application server via the local breakout path instead of tunneling the traffic to a gateway connected to the application server; and
send, based on the forwarding action, a subsequent packet that is subsequent to the second packet to the application server via the local breakout path.
