Abstract
A novel design of a gateway that handles traffic in and out of a network by using a datapath daemon is provided. The datapath daemon is a run-to-completion process that performs various data-plane packet-processing operations at the edge of the network. In some embodiments, the datapath daemon dispatches packets to other processes or processing threads outside of the daemon. In some embodiments, the datapath daemon dispatches packets to a kernel network stack in order to support packet traffic monitoring.
