Abstract: Providing a shared interface among a plurality of compute units is disclosed. A plurality of compute units is determined and a shared interface for the plurality of compute units is provided, wherein incoming traffic is received by any of the plurality of compute units. Also, the packet is received at the shared interface for a plurality of compute units. The packet is encapsulated using a first header, wherein the first header specifies one of the plurality of compute units, and wherein the one of the plurality of compute units is selected independent of an interface address associated with the shared interface.
