Abstract:
Techniques for executing multiple Virtual Private Network (VPN) endpoints associated with an Endpoint Pool Address are disclosed. A VPN endpoint manager determines traffic attributes of traffic addressed to the Endpoint Pool Address. The VPN endpoint manager selects a quantity of VPN endpoints to be executed for processing the traffic based on the traffic attributes. The VPN endpoint manager causes execution of a plurality of VPN endpoints corresponding to the selected quantity. The VPN endpoint manager selects one VPN endpoint, from the VPN endpoint pool, to process each data packet addressed to the Endpoint Pool Address. The VPN endpoint manager may select different VPN endpoints to process data packets of different VPN sessions. The VPN endpoint manager may transfer a VPN session from one VPN endpoint to another VPN endpoint. The VPN endpoints in the VPN endpoint pool operate concurrently to process data packets addressed to the Endpoint Pool Address.

Claim (Index 22):
A system, comprising:\n at least one device including a hardware processor; and the system being configured to perform operations comprising: receiving a first set of data packets that (a) is addressed to a particular address and (b) corresponds to a first Virtual Private Network (VPN) session assigned to a first VPN endpoint of a plurality of VPN endpoints associated with the particular address; directing the first set of data packets to the first VPN endpoint based on a first assignment of the first VPN session to the first VPN endpoint, the first VPN endpoint decapsulating the first set of data packets; determining that a session transfer criterion is satisfied; responsive to detecting that the session transfer criterion is satisfied, re-assigning the first VPN session to obtain a second assignment of the first VPN session to a second VPN endpoint of the plurality of VPN endpoints associated with the particular address; receiving a second set of data packets that (a) is addressed to the particular address and (b) corresponds to the first VPN session; directing the second set of data packets to the second VPN endpoint based on the second assignment of the first VPN session to the second VPN endpoint, the second VPN endpoint decapsulating the second set of data packets.
