Abstract
Improved network traffic flow processing techniques are described. In a network device providing multiple processing planes, each processing plane comprising multiple processing units, techniques are described that take advantage of flow affinity/locality principles such that the same processing component of a processing plane, which previously performed processing for a network flow, is used for performing subsequent processing for the same network flow. This enables faster processing of network traffic flows by the network device. In certain implementations, the techniques described herein can be implemented in a network virtualization device (NVD) that is configured to perform network virtualization functions.
