Packet routing method and system that routes packets to one of at least two processes based on at least one routing rule for processing packets from network traffic. First, at least one routing rule is received. The routing rule specifies one or more packet criteria (e.g., network card through which the packet is received or a predetermined source address of the packet). The routing rule also specifies a predetermined route or path for packets that meet the criteria described previously. Second, packets are received from a source (e.g., network traffic). Third, the routing rule is applied to the received packets. When the packet matches the criteria, the packet is routed to a predetermined process (e.g., a first application) through a corresponding route or path. The predetermined process then performs further packet processing on the routed packet. Otherwise, the packet is routed to a predetermined process (e.g., a second application) through a predetermined route.
