Abstract
Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, network traffic management apparatuses, and network traffic management systems that configure one or more configurable hardware logic devices based on a current configuration comprising a set of features. Network traffic exchanged with or between one or more clients or one or more servers is monitored. A determination is made when a trigger condition has occurred based on the monitoring. One or more of the configurable hardware logic devices are reconfigured the detected trigger condition to enable hardware acceleration for a feature not included in the set of features, when the determining indicates that the trigger condition is detected. With this technology, hardware acceleration can be provided dynamically for different features, based on observed network conditions, in order to improve the performance of a network traffic management device.
