Abstract
Disclosed is a method, system, and computer readable medium to provide an implementation to provide proxy style support for multiple virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instances on a single network communication device. The proxy style support includes instantiating a plurality of pairs of namespaces and instances of a Unix service, each of the plurality of pairs representing a pair to support a single instance of a VRF. The network communication device may receive a network request associated with a network address mapped to a first VRF from a client device. The network request may be proxied from the pair of namespace/service supporting the first VRF to a backend single instance of a proxy server. Communication across independent namespaces may be supported by using a local communication mechanism (e.g., Unix sockets, Winsock) to provide support for the multiple VRFs concurrently.
