Systems, methods, and devices for offloading best path computations in a networked computing environment. A method includes storing in memory, by a best path controller, a listing of a plurality of paths learnt by a device, wherein each of the plurality of paths is a route for transmitting data from the device to a destination device. The method includes receiving, by the best path controller, a message from the device. The method includes processing, by the best path controller, a best path computation to identify one or more best paths based on the message such that processing of the best path computation is offloaded from the device to the best path controller. The method includes sending the one or more best paths to the device.

Best path computation offload in a network computing environment

A computing environment, such as a cloud computing environment, may include nodes performing NAT for a plurality of workloads. An active node performs NAT for the workloads, including maintaining a NAT table. The active node may create sub-interfaces for the workloads and function as a DHCP server. The NAT table and sub-interfaces may be recreated on a standby node. Upon detecting failure, a routing table is updated to direct workloads to connect to the standby node and traffic may continue to be processed by the standby node without disrupting network or application sessions.
