Nowadays, middleboxes have become a key component of enterprise networks. However, because of traffic modifying operations and complexity of architecture, middleboxes make many challenges to ensure correctness of policy enforcement. This paper proposes architecture to enable policy enforcement in a set of connected middleboxes.
