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. A cloud-based network provider's geographically-dispersed network infrastructure may serve as the core of a client's private wide area network, and the client may define isolated segments to which other networks (virtual private clouds, virtual private networks, etc.) may be attached. The various segments may remain logically isolated from each other even when implemented across some or all of the same regions—and using the same physical and/or virtual routing components—as other segments of the same client and/or other clients.

Tag-based cross-region segment management

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.
