Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for a data message processing device that includes multiple network interfaces associated with at least two different non-uniform memory access (NUMA) nodes. The method receives a data message at a first network interface associated with a particular one of the NUMA nodes. Based on processing of the data message, the method identifies multiple output options for the data message. Each of the output options has an equal forwarding cost and each output option is associated with a respective one of the NUMA nodes. The method selects an output option for the data message that is associated with the particular NUMA node to avoid cross-NUMA node processing of the data message.
