Abstract:
A rule engine receives data flows. The data flows are between a network and an application. The rule engine determines data flow information and in dependence on the information performs an action with respect to said flow. A controller provides control information to the rule engine to define one or more actions. The communications between said rule engine and said controller are secure.

Claim (Index 23):
A switch comprising:\n a rule engine configured to receive data flows, said data flows being between a network and an application, said rule engine being provided between said network and said application, said rule engine being configured to determine data flow information and in dependence on said information to perform an action with respect to said flow, said rule engine configured to receive control information from a controller defining one or more of said actions which are performable with respect to said flow, wherein communications between said rule engine and said controller are secure,\n wherein said rule engine is configured to send information about said data flows to said controller to enable the controller to perform a function with respect to at least one data flow in response to a determination that said data flow information associated with said at least one data flow is not present in said rules engine, and \n wherein said rule engine comprises hardware, one or more programmable hardware processors, or a combination of both.
