Abstract
According to some embodiments, a computer-implemented method for packet forwarding optimization across multiple nodes may include receiving, via a processor on a network controller, a first packet from a client. The first packet can include information indicative of a target node and a protocol type. The method may further include receiving, via the processor, a balancing node from a packet engine, forwarding, via the processor, the first packet to the target node though the balancing node according to a balancing node address, a target node address, and the protocol type, receiving, via the processor, a registration from the packet engine, and saving the registration to a network controller queue, and forwarding, via the network controller queue, a second packet to the target node based on the registration without the second packet traversing the balancing node.
