A message indicating an auxiliary task associated with traffic transmitted via a virtual router between a pair of isolated networks is received at an offloading device. A stack multiplexer at the offloading device selects a protocol stack instance to process the message. A result of the auxiliary task is obtained by the multiplexer from the selected protocol stack instance and transmitted to the virtual router, where it is used to transmit a packet between the isolated networks.

Multi-tenant offloaded protocol processing for virtual routers

Systems and methods are provided for management of network segments that cross geographic regions and/or other types of network divisions in a cloud-based network environment. Gateway may manage traffic across regions using routing metadata that includes a segment identifier. The gateways may also signal their routes across regions based on segment data, and implement the signaled routes using segment-based routing policies. Route selection may be performed using optimization data.

Metadata-based cross-region segment routing

A category of auxiliary tasks (such as routing configuration management or packet content transformation) associated with transmission of network packets between sets of network endpoints is determined. A virtual router is configured to transmit the packets between the sets of network endpoints. Connectivity is enabled between the virtual router and an auxiliary task offloading resource. Results of an auxiliary task performed at the offloading resource are used to transmit at least some packets between the sets of network endpoints.
