A method, a cluster system, and a computer-readable medium for distributing data packets addressed to at least one virtual address over a communication network using a protocol, which allows for at least some content of the data packet to be encrypted, to a multiplicity of service nodes. The method includes receiving incoming data packets addressed to a virtual address through a packet analyzer and identifying whether the incoming data packets are encrypted. Each encryption data packet is forwarded to a decryption module and a decrypted data packet is returned. Based on the decrypted data packet, a scheduling decision is made by a scheduling module. Scheduling data is then combined with the originally received encrypted data packet such that the encrypted data packet can be forwarded to one service node for further processing. |
