Abstract
In an example of this disclosure, a method may include receiving, by a first network device, a plurality of heartbeat response messages from one or more network devices of a plurality of network devices. Each heartbeat response message of the plurality of heartbeat response messages may respectively correspond to one network device of the plurality of network devices. The method may include processing, by the first network device, the plurality of heartbeat response messages in a kernel space of the first network device. The method may include updating, by the first network device in the kernel space, one or more values corresponding to a data structure based on processing the plurality of heartbeat response messages in the kernel space. The method may include processing, by the first network device, the one or more values in a user space of the first network device.
