    Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for processing inter-network communications. Embodiments include configuring, by a management component of a data center, a first virtual private network (VPN) session between a first endpoint outside of the data center and a first gateway of the data center. Embodiments include configuring, by the management component, a second VPN session between a second endpoint outside of the data center and a second gateway of the data center. Embodiments include programming, by the management component, one or more network address translation (NAT) tables of the data center such that, for the first VPN session and the second VPN session, a single public network address of the data center is exposed to the first endpoint and the second endpoint.

    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: Certain embodiments described herein are relate to a method for dynamically rekeying a security association. The method includes establishing, by a destination tunnel endpoint (TEP), an in-bound security association with a source TEP, with a first security parameter index (SPI) value, for encrypting data packets communicated between the source TEP and the destination TEP. The method further includes rekeying, by the destination TEP, the in-bound security association, the rekeying including generating a second SPI value for replacing the first SPI value based on a trigger event relating to at least one of a real-time security score of the in-bound security association, a number of security associations assigned to a compute resource that the in-bound security resource is assigned to, an amount of load managed by the compute resource that the in-bound security resource is assigned to, and an indication received from an administrator.

    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage processing queue allocation based on addressing attributes of an inner packet. In one implementation, a first gateway identifies processing queues at a second gateway and assigns a unique flow label to each of the processing queues. The first gateway further receives a packet from a computing node that is directed toward the second gateway. The first gateway hashes addressing information in the packet to select a flow label, encapsulates the packet with the flow label in the outer encapsulation header for the encapsulated packet, and forwards the packet toward the second gateway.
