Abstract

See full text

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for offloading IPsec processing from application hosts using an IPsec proxy mechanism are disclosed. According to one method, at least one of unencrypted, IPsec, and Internet key exchange (IKE) packets transmitted between a first application host and a second application host are intercepted by a network gateway. The network gateway performs all IKE and IPsec-related processing for the at least one unencrypted, IPsec, and IKE packets on behalf of the first application host such that the second application host is unaware that IPsec processing is being performed by the network gateway.
