Abstract: Embodiments provide data in-flight (DIF) services to software applications such as virtual machines (VMs) at an application level without requiring modification to established storage protocols. In exemplary embodiments, a software application is associated with a DIF services policy indicating one or more DIF services to apply to the software application. Data transmitted by the software application to a destination is tagged based on the DIF services policy associated with the software application and transmitted to the destination.

Abstract: Embodiments perform capability discovery, policy management, and policy enforcement to provide data in-flight (DIF) services to virtual machines (VMs) without requiring modification to established storage protocols. In exemplary embodiments, a management device receives advertisements of DIF services supported by network nodes. The management device groups the advertised DIF services into a DIF services policy. The management device associates a host and a communication path. The management device enforces the DIF services policy by storing a unique number that causes transmission of data along the communication path.
