Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for high volume logging for large scale network address translation. A first device intermediary to a plurality of clients and a plurality of database servers allocates a portion of memory to each packet engine in a plurality of packet engines executing on a respective core of a plurality of cores of the first device. The first device establishes large scale network address translation (LSN) for the plurality of clients, the first device logging LSN information of sessions to a corresponding logging buffer established in a respective packet engine's portion of memory. The first device identifies, for a LSN session, a packet engine from the plurality of packet engines to log the information for the LSN session and stores information of the LSN session to the logging buffer in the packet engine's portion of memory.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for supporting Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) request operations over clustered networking devices. The system includes a cluster that includes a plurality of intermediary devices and an SNMP agent executing on a first intermediary device of the plurality of intermediary devices. The SNMP agent receives an SNMP GETNEXT request for an entity. Responsive to receipt of the SNMP GETNEXT request, the SNMP agent requests a next entity from each intermediary device of the plurality of intermediary devices of the cluster. To respond to the SNMP request, the SNMP agent selects a lexicographically minimum entity. The SNMP agent may select the lexicographically minimum entity from a plurality of next entities received via responses from each intermediary device of the plurality of intermediary devices.

Abstract: In a multi-core device or clustered system, instead of snmpd polling for configured monitoring values of an entity to determine if reached a threshold, each core in a multi-core system or node in a clustered system triggers information to the snmpd about entities that may be or are generating SNMP traps. A configured threshold T is distributed among the cores or nodes, as the case may be, based on the number of cores or nodes. If there are ‘n’ cores in a multi-core device, and the configured threshold is ‘T’, then each core checks for a per-core threshold value ‘T/n’. If there are ‘n’ nodes in a clustered system, and the configured threshold is ‘T’, then each node checks for a per-node threshold value ‘T/n’. Snmpd then gathers information about this entity from all the cores and checks for the threshold ‘T’.

According to the pigeonhole principle, if an entity has reached or exceeded the threshold ‘T’, then the entity must have reached or exceeded a value of ‘T/n’ on at least one core or node. Upon the entity crossing a ‘T/n’ value on any core or node, the core or node informs snmpd about this entity.
