Techniques are described to enable two or more layer two (L2) firewall devices to be configured as a high availability (HA) cluster in an active-active configuration. A first layer two (L2) firewall and a second L2 firewall are positioned within the same L2 network. The first L2 firewall and the second L2 firewall are concurrently configured with active virtual security devices (VSDs) within the L2 network, and concurrently apply L2 firewall services to packets within the L2 network. A VSD of one of the L2 firewalls automatically switches to an active VSD status for a VSD group in place of a VSD of another L2 firewall when the other L2 firewall fails.

In general, techniques are described for dynamically managing weighted queues. In accordance with the techniques, a network security device comprises a queue management module that assigns, for each queue of a plurality of queues, a quota desirable to a user that a processor of the network security device consumes to service each queue. The queue management module determines, based on the desirable quotas, a queue weight for each queue and computes. Based on the computation, the queue management module dynamically adjusts one or more of the weights such that subsequent amounts of processing time actually required to process the number of packets defined by each of the queue weights more accurately reflects the desirable quotas assigned to each of the queues. The network device outputs the number of packets in accordance with the adjusted weights.

A device receives traffic; identifies an address associated with the traffic; determines whether the address is associated with an aggregate interface, the aggregate interface being associated with a first port and a second port. The first port corresponds to a first node in a first state, that indicates that the first node is available to forward the traffic, and the second port corresponds to a second node in a second state, that indicates that that the second node is not available to forward the traffic. The device transmits the traffic to the first node via the first port and to the second node, via the second port, when the address is associated with the aggregate interface. Transmitting the traffic enables the second node to forward the traffic when the first node changes from the first state to the second state.

This disclosure is directed toward an integrated switching and routing security device that provides zone-based security directly between layer two (L2) interfaces of L2 bridge domains and/or layer three (L3) interfaces of L3 routing instances within the security device. The integrated switching and routing security device supports both switching and routing functionalities for packets on L2 and L3 interfaces, and supports security within and between L2 bridge domains and L3 routing instances. The integrated switching and routing security device configures L2 security zones for one or more L2 interfaces and configures L3 security zones for one or more L3 interfaces. The integrated switching and routing security device then applies security policies to incoming packets according to the L2 security zones and/or the L3 security zones associated with the incoming interface and an outgoing interface for the packets to provide end-to-end security within the security device.

A device may reserve a slot for a received packet in a packet ordering queue (POQ), convey the packet to one of a plurality of threads for processing, obtain the packet from the one of the plurality of threads after the packet has been processed, organize the packet in the POQ in accordance with a position of the reserved slot, and release the packet from the POQ if the reserved slot is a head of the POQ.

In general, techniques are described for performing decentralized packet dispatch. A network device comprising one or more service processing units (SPUs) and an interface may implement the techniques. The interface receives a packet associated with a session and selects a first one of SPUs to dispatch the packet based on first information extracted from the packet. The first one of the SPUs dispatches the packet to a second one of the SPUs based on second information extracted from the packet. The second one of the SPUs performs first pass processing to configure the network security device to perform fast path processing of the packet such that second one of the SPUs applies one or more services to the packet and subsequent packets associated with the same session without application of services to the packets by the first one of the service processing units.

A network device connects between a client and a server. The network device is configured to store information regarding a capability of the server; receive a first message, from the client, intended for the server; obtain the stored information regarding the capability of the server; generate a second message that includes the information regarding the capability of the server; send the second message to the client; receive a third message from the client; and establish, based on the third message, a connection between the client and the server.

A device may receive packets for a system and obtain a packet drop rate of the system, a processor utilization rate of the system, and a target processor utilization rate of the system. In addition, the device may determine a target packet drop rate based on the packet drop rate, the processor utilization rate, and the target processor utilization rate. The device may drop a portion of the packets in accordance with the packet drop rate.

摘要:
In general, techniques are for providing a direct forwarding path between virtual routers within a single virtualized routing system. In one example, a method includes combining forwarding information from a plurality of virtual routers into collapsed forwarding information that comprises one or more direct forwarding paths between the respective virtual routers. The method also includes determining a direct forwarding path to an egress interface of the second virtual router, in response to receiving a network packet at an ingress interface of a first virtual router. The method also includes forwarding the network packet from the ingress interface of the first virtual router to the egress interface of the second virtual router using the direct forwarding path, wherein the network packet traverses a switch fabric directly from the ingress interface of the first virtual router to the egress interface of the second virtual router.
