Abstract
Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method, network node, and non-transitory machine-readable storage medium including one or more of the following: receiving, at the network device, an ownership indication that a first network processor is currently serving an anti-replay connection; and in response to receiving the ownership indication, effecting a presetting in a second network processor of a current sequence number (SN) for the anti-replay connection to a first value that is greater than or equal to a re-key threshold value, wherein the network device includes at least one of the first network processor and the second network processor wherein the re-key threshold value is a value beyond which an SN triggers re-keying of the anti-replay connection, and wherein the second network processor utilizes the current sequence number upon beginning to serve the anti-replay connection.
