System and method for implementing protocol stack across multiple chassis
A network gateway element is provided. The network gateway element appears as a single node to the external world, while it physically is maintained in at least two chassis. A routing node handles functions typically associated with routers, while another network element, such as a server, may handle functions typically associated with the server. The routing node may load-balance the traffic directed at the server. Additionally, the routing node may process packets for the server without the server having to become involved.
