Abstract

The present application is directed towards sharing data link layer information of network traffic distributed across a cluster of intermediary devices. A method for sharing data link layer information across a cluster includes receiving a request packet at a first intermediary device. The first intermediary device identifies a first set of data link layer information from a data link layer of the request packet. The first intermediary device modifies the request packet for transmission on a common data backplane of the cluster to include the first set of data link layer information in the request packet. The modified request packet includes a second set of data link layer information that differs from the first set of data link layer information at the data link layer. The first intermediary device transmits the modified request packet on the common data backplane of the cluster to other devices of the cluster.
