Abstract

Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, network traffic management apparatuses, and network traffic management systems that obtain an assigned Internet Protocol (IP) address from a DHCP server in response to an address request received from a client. One of a plurality of processing cores, on which a traffic management process is executing, is identified. The assigned IP address is modified based on the identified processing core. The modified IP address is sent to the client in response to the received address request. With this technology, connections associated with a same subscriber can advantageously be disaggregated to the same traffic management process.
