Abstract

Methods and systems for processing data communicated over a network. In one aspect, an exemplary embodiment includes processing a first group of network packets in a first processor which executes a first network protocol stack, where the first group of network packets are communicated through a first network interface port, and processing a second group of network packets in a second processor which executes a second network protocol stack, where the second group of network packets is communicated through the first network interface port. Other methods and systems are also described.
