1. A network device, comprising:
- a chassis including an interconnect;
a plurality of traffic modules installed in the chassis and coupled to the interconnect;
a plurality of compute modules installed in the chassis and coupled to the interconnect; and
software components distributed across the traffic and compute modules, the software components to execute on processing elements of the traffic and compute modules to perform operations including;
execute a management layer on at least one of the compute modules;
execute an interface layer on the one of the compute modules; and
communicate data between the interface layer and the management layer via invoking a converter to convert the data from a first format used in the interface layer to a serializable object in the management layer.

Abstract
A technique to communicate data between a management layer and an interface layer of a network device having traffic modules and compute modules includes using a converter to convert a serializable object between file formats. The management layer is executed on at least one of the compute modules and the interface layer is executed on the one of the compute modules. Data is communicated between the interface layer and the management layer via invoking the converter to convert the data from a first format used in the interface layer to a serializable object in the management layer.
