Abstract
The present application discloses a method, system, and computer system for routing network traffic to be sent through a firewall, the network traffic being routed to the appropriate client when the firewall services clients having overlapping IP addresses. The method includes: (a) storing an ingress Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) information in connection with a client-server flow information for a particular session, and (b) causing network traffic received from a server to be routed based at least in part on the VRF information.
Claims21
A system, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- store an ingress Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) information in connection with a client-server flow information for a particular session;
- and
- cause network traffic received from a server to be routed based at least in part on the VRF information;
- and
- a memory coupled to the one or more processors and configured to provide the one or more processors with instructions.
A method, comprising:
- storing an ingress Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) information in connection with a client-server flow information for a particular session;
- and
- causing network traffic received from a server to be routed based at least in part on the VRF information.
A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:
- storing an ingress Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) information in connection with a client-server flow information for a particular session;
- and
- causing network traffic received from a server to be routed based at least in part on the VRF information.
