Traffic service threads for large pools of network addresses

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory storing processor-readable code;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor configured to execute the processor-readable code to cause the at least one processor to perform operations including:
• determining, by a process executing on the at least one processor, a configuration specifying at least one or more bound network addresses;
• instantiating, by the process, one or more traffic service (TS) threads, each of the one or more traffic service (TS) threads configured to process traffic for a respective one or more of the one or more bound network addresses, wherein:
• each of the one or more traffic service (TS) threads is configured with one or more network services corresponding to a respective one or more of the one or more bound network addresses,
• the one or more traffic service (TS) threads share a memory space with the process, and
• each of the one or more traffic service (TS) threads have separate register stacks;
• and
• processing, by the one or more traffic service (TS) threads, inbound traffic for a corresponding one or more of the one or more bound network addresses associated with each of the one or more traffic service (TS) threads.
