Abstract

Techniques are disclosed relating to communicating network traffic using multiple network stacks. In various embodiments, a device including first and second processors and a network interface establishes, via a first network stack executing on the first processor, trust with an external computing system and leverages, via a second network stack executing on the second processor, the established trust to communicate with the external computing system. In some embodiments, establishing the trust includes performing an authentication exchange with the external computing system and receiving a credential for the second network stack to communicate with the external computing system. In some embodiments, the second processor is an efficiency processor having a reduced power consumption relative to the first processor. In some embodiments, the first processor enters a reduced power state while the second processor communicates via the second network stack with the external computing system.
