Abstract: In some embodiments, a method instantiates a proxy that stores first state information for first workloads running on a first computing device. The first computing device receives a migrated workload from a second computing device and second state information for a session associated with the migrated workload. The second state information is generated by a proxy on the second computing device that processed one or more packets for the migrated workload on the second computing device. The method stories the second state information for the proxy on the first computing device and resumes the session associated with the migrated workload using the proxy on the first computing device.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a first proxy is instantiated on the first computing device. and receives packets that are intercepted by a hypervisor. The packets are sent between a workload and another device and the proxy includes a first session between the proxy and the another device and a second session between the proxy and the workload. State information is extracted for the packets that are sent in the first session or the second session at the first proxy and the state information is stored. The first computing device migrates the workload to a second computing device. When the workload is migrated to the second computing device, the state information for the workload is migrated to a second proxy that is instantiated on the second computing device. The second proxy then resumes the first session with the another device and the second session with the proxy using the state information.

Abstract: Certain embodiments described herein are generally directed to load balancing IPSec tunnels at an extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) module of a destination tunnel endpoint for encapsulated ESP encrypted data packets for encapsulated encrypted data packets based on a security parameter index value of the encapsulated encrypted data packets.

Abstract: Example methods and systems for managing interconnection of virtual network functions are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include, in response to a trigger event indicating detection of an interface, obtaining a virtual network domain template corresponding to a virtual network domain to be configured, the virtual network domain template identifying one or more virtual network functions and one or more interfaces, at least some of the virtual network functions being connected together through one or more links. Disclosed example methods further include configuring and provisioning the virtual network domain to contain the interface using the virtual network domain template and properties of the interface to enable the interface to send information in the virtual network domain.
