| 20100287227 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING A PROCESSOR FROM A PLURALITY OF PROCESSORS TO PROVIDE SYMMETRICAL REQUEST AND RESPONSE PROCESSING - 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. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100322076 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RETAINING SOURCE IP IN A LOAD BALANCING MULTI-CORE ENVIRONMENT - Described herein is a method and system for distributing requests 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 maintains the client IP address, selects 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 client IP address, the server IP address, the first port and the server port. | 12-23-2010 |
