Abstract:
Managing an autoscaled user space networking stack is provided. A cluster of containers are disposed in a userspace separate from a kernel space of a device. Each container in the cluster of containers can execute a respective one of a plurality of virtual functions, for a network interface card of the device, to cause packets received by the device to bypass the kernel space. The device can forward, via a load balancing technique, a packet received by the device to a container in the cluster of containers. The container can execute a virtual function of the plurality of virtual functions. The device can update a queue for a core managed by the virtual function. The update can cause the core to process the packet in accordance with the queue.
Abstract:
A user space driver for input/output traffic distribution and packet processing is provided. A device can establish a driver in user space with access to a memory mapped region shared with a kernel of the device. The driver can access a packet stored to the memory mapped region by a network interface of the device responsive to receipt of the packet. The driver can provide the packet to a selected application of a plurality of applications for processing by the selected application.

Abstract:
Systems and methods of vertical auto-scaling a networking stack by adjusting the number of packet engines executing on a device are provided. A device intermediary to clients and servers executes first packet engines to process network traffic of a first set of connections. The device determines to adjust the number of packet engines executing on the device based on trigger parameters. The device activates second packet engines to process network traffic for a second set of connections. The device mirrors the network traffic from the first and second set of connections. The first packet engines reject the traffic from the second connections, and the second packet engines reject the traffic from the first connections. The device deactivates the first packet engines when the first connections timeout.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for transmitting data packets to a software container executing on a host computing device. A network service can be enabled within a software container established on the host computing device. A data packet of a request formatted according to the network service can be received via a first port of a first subnetwork assigned to the host computing device. The data packet can be forwarded to a second port assigned to the software container, responsive to a network address translation rule associating the second port assigned to the software container with the first port of the host computing device. The second port can be a port of a second subnetwork assigned to the software container. The data packet can be processed according to the network service within the software container.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of providing fine grained control over MSS values of transport layer connections. A device intermediary to a plurality of clients and a plurality of servers can identify a first MSS value based on a MTU value of a VLAN interface responsive to a request to establish a transport layer connection. Device determines that a MSS value of the VLAN is less than the first MSS value. Device updates, responsive to the determination, the first MSS value to a second MSS value corresponding to the MSS value of the VLAN. Device determines that an MSS value specified by a profile configured for a virtual server of the device is less than the second MSS value. Device updates the second MSS value to the MSS value of the profile responsive to determining that the MSS value specified by the profile is less than the second MSS value.
