    Abstract: A method for IPSec communication between a source machine and a destination machine is provided. The method includes receiving, at the destination machine, first and second packets from the source machine through first and second VPN tunnels established between a first VTI of the source machine and a second VTI of the destination machine; determining the first packet corresponds to a first SA and the second packet corresponds to a second SA; processing, by a first processing core, the first packet based on the first SA, and processing, by a second processing core, the second packet based on the second SA; and updating, at the second VTI, states of one or more flows based on the first and second packets, the second VTI providing one or more stateful services for the one or more packet flows based on the one or more states.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method that identifies multiple paths between a first site and a second site. A security association (SA) is established for transmitting encrypted payload from the first site to the second site in a virtual private network (VPN) session. The method selects a path based on metrics that are obtained for the paths. The selected path is defined by a first endpoint address of the first site and a second endpoint address of the second site. The method sends a message from the first site to the second site to update the SA to switch from using an original path to using the selected path. The message indicates the first and second endpoint addresses. The method transmits a packet including a payload that is encrypted according to the updated SA.
