  • Determining a load distribution for data units at a packet inspection device
    Patent number: 9935883
    Abstract: A load distribution for data units received by a particular packet inspection device that is part of a collection of packet inspection devices is determined, where the packet inspection devices in the collection are to examine content of corresponding received data units. For corresponding data units received by the particular packet inspection device, the determined load distribution favors keeping the corresponding data units at the particular packet inspection device. Based on metric information regarding utilization of at least the particular packet inspection device, the load distribution is dynamically modified.
    Type: Grant

  • Network traffic processing system
    Patent number: 9544273
    Abstract: A system for processing network traffic includes a hardware-accelerated inspection unit to process network traffic in hardware-accelerated inspection mode, and a software inspection unit to process the network traffic in software inspection mode. The software inspection unit processes a connection in in the software inspection mode at least for a consecutive predetermined number of bytes of the connection. The connection may be transitioned to the hardware-accelerated inspection mode if the connection is determined to be clean.
