Abstract
An efficient method to handle fragmented packets in multi-node all-active clusters. In one particular embodiment, a method includes receiving an initial fragment packet at a node in a cluster, creating a secondary flow table, linking the secondary flow table to a primary flow table, determining the primary flow owner of the initial fragment packet, and transmitting initial and succeeding fragment packets out of the cluster through, if possible, the primary flow owner.
