    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for dynamic firewall discovery on a service plane. The method includes the steps of identifying a source data packet for transmission from a source machine at a source site to a destination machine at a destination site, wherein the source data packet corresponds to a request for connection between the source machine and the destination machine over a WAN, inspecting the source data packet at a first firewall associated with the source site, marking the source data packet with a marker to indicate inspection by the first firewall, transmitting the marked source data packet to the destination site, determining at the destination site that the source data packet has been inspected based on the marker, and forwarding the source data packet to the destination machine at the destination site, without inspection of the source data packet by a second firewall associated with the destination site.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for dynamically applying a security policy based on one or more tag attributes. The method comprises receiving, at a network controller, information about an instance of a cloud workload instantiated at a cloud provider. The cloud workload is associated with a tag attribute. The method further comprises querying the cloud provider for at least one IP address associated with the tag attribute and learning the at least one IP address associated with the tag attribute, including the IP address for the instance of the cloud workload. The method further comprises associating a security policy with the at least one IP address associated with the tag attribute and propagating the security policy to at least one edge router for implementation.

    Abstract: According to certain embodiments, a method by a network device includes receiving a handshake message for a traffic flow from a Software-Defined Wide-Area Network (SDWAN) and determining, from a traffic policy, whether the traffic flow should be symmetrical. In response to determining from the traffic policy that the traffic flow should be symmetrical, the method further includes performing a flow lookup on the traffic flow to determine if the network device originated the traffic flow. In response to determining that the network device did not originate the traffic flow, the method further includes determining a second network device that originated the traffic flow and sending the handshake message for the traffic flow to the second network device in order to maintain symmetry for the traffic flow.
