Abstract
Example methods and computer systems for receive-side processing for encapsulated encrypted packets. One example may comprise: in response to receiving, over a tunnel, a first encapsulated encrypted packet that includes a first encrypted inner packet and a first outer header, generating a first decrypted inner packet by performing decryption and decapsulation; and based on content of the first decrypted inner packet, assigning the first decrypted inner packet to a first processing unit. The method may further comprise: in response to receiving, over the tunnel, a second encapsulated encrypted packet that includes a second encrypted inner packet and a second outer header, generating a second decrypted inner packet by performing decryption and decapsulation; and based on content of the second decrypted inner packet, assigning the second decrypted inner packet to a second processing unit, thereby distributing post-cryptography processing over multiple processing units.
