Computerized system and method for handling network traffic

A computerized system for handling network traffic associated with a plurality of virtual domains, the system comprising:

• a. a plurality of interfaces, each of the interfaces corresponding to a virtual domain of the plurality of virtual domains;
• and
• b. a CPU executing a kernel and a service process for handling network traffic based on a predetermined policy;
• wherein, in response to a connection request involving a network entity associated with a virtual domain, the CPU:
• i. opens a communication channel between the service process and the kernel;
• ii. uses the opened communication channel to transfer network traffic associated with the virtual domain between service process and the kernel;
• and
• iii. handles the transferred network traffic in the service process based on the policy.

A computerized system for handling network traffic associated with a plurality of virtual domains, the system comprising:

• a. a plurality of interfaces, each of the interfaces corresponding to a virtual domain of the plurality of virtual domains;
• b. a processing unit executing a kernel and a service process for handling network traffic based on a predetermined policy;
• c. a configuration server for providing configuration information to the service process in response to a configuration request from the service process;
• and
• d. a log server for logging information in response to a logging request from the service process;

A computer-readable medium embodying one or more sequences of instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

• a. defining a plurality of interfaces, each of the interfaces corresponding to a virtual domain of the plurality of virtual domains;
• b. initiating a service process for handling network traffic based on a predetermined policy;
• c. in response to a connection request involving a network entity associated with a virtual domain, opening a communication channel between the service process and a kernel;
• d. using the opened communication channel to transfer network traffic associated with the virtual domain between service process and the kernel;
• and
• e. handling the transferred network content in the service process based on the policy.
