Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Described herein is a method and system for distributing request and responses across a multi-core system. Each core executes a packet engine that further processes data packets allocated to that core. A flow distributor executing within the multi-core system forwards client requests to a packet engine on a core that is selected based on a value generated when a hash is applied to a tuple comprising a client IP address, a client port, a server IP address and a server port identified in the request. The packet engine selects a first IP address and a first port of the core, and determines whether a hash of a tuple comprising those values identifies the selected core. A modification is then made to the client request so that the client request includes a tuple comprising the first IP address, the server IP address, the first port and the server port.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for providing symmetrical request and response processing across a packet engine of a plurality of packet engines, each of the plurality of packet engines executing on a respective core of a plurality of cores in a multi-core system intermediary to a client and a server, the method comprising: a) receiving, by a packet engine on a first core of a multi-core device intermediary to a client and a server, from a flow distributor, a request of the clien…
