ABSTRACT:
A system and method for providing IP services. A packet is received at a line interface
etwork module and forwarded to a virtual routing engine The virtual routing engine determines if the packet requires processing by a virtual services engine. If the packet requires processing by the virtual services engine, the packet is routed to the virtual services engine for processing.
