Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a method and network device for an enhanced serialization mechanism. Specifically, the disclosed system receives a plurality of packets from a plurality of transport layer flows corresponding to a security association. Also, the system designates one processor of a plurality of processors to be associated with the security association. Moreover, the system assigns a sequence number to each packet, and transmits the plurality of packets from the plurality of transport layer flows such that packets within the same transport layer flow are transmitted in order of their sequence numbers. However, at least two packets from two different transport layer flows may be transmitted out of incremental order of their sequence number.
