Abstract: A method includes identifying a middlebox receiving network flow and communicating with one or more backend virtual machines. The method also includes receiving flow statistics corresponding to the network flow of the middlebox and determining whether the flow statistics satisfy an offload rule. The offload rule indicates when to migrate the network flow from the middlebox to an end host. When the flow statistics satisfy the offload rule, the method also includes migrating the network flow from the middlebox to the end host.
