Patent attributes
A method for IPSec communication between a source machine and a destination machine is provided. The method includes receiving, at the destination machine, first and second packets from the source machine through first and second VPN tunnels established between a first VTI of the source machine and a second VTI of the destination machine; determining the first packet corresponds to a first SA and the second packet corresponds to a second SA; processing, by a first processing core, the first packet based on the first SA, and processing, by a second processing core, the second packet based on the second SA; and updating, at the second VTI, states of one or more flows based on the first and second packets, the second VTI providing one or more stateful services for the one or more packet flows based on the one or more states.
