1. A method for optimizing data flow in a computer network, the method comprising:
storing data plane identifying information about a data packet into shared memory to yield stored identifying information, wherein the shared memory is accessible only between a data plane of the computer network where the data packet originates and a service plane of the computer network associated with an application hosted on the computer network; and
matching the stored identifying information in the shared memory with the data plane identifying information to identify the data packet.
