For a network including multiple computers acting as tunnel endpoints in a network, some embodiments provide a method for distributing data messages among processors of a destination computer that receives encrypted data messages from a source computer. Each computer in some embodiments has a set of interfaces configured as tunnel endpoints connecting to multiple tunnels. The encrypted data messages are received at multiple interfaces of the destination computer and in some embodiments, include an identifier for a set of encryption parameters (e.g., a security parameter index). The encryption-parameter-set identifier is used to distribute encrypted data messages among processors of the destination computer.
A method for processing a plurality of encrypted data messages sent over a plurality of encryption-secured tunnels using a plurality of data message processing units of a first computer in a first datacenter, each encryption-secured tunnel identified by a unique security parameter index (SPI), the method comprising:
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program for execution by a set of processing units, the program for processing a plurality of encrypted data messages sent over a plurality of encryption-secured tunnels using a plurality of data message processing units of a first computer in a first datacenter, each encryption-secured tunnel identified by a unique security parameter index (SPI), the program comprising sets of instructions for:
