1. A system, comprising:
- a first multiserver platform that comprises;
a first plurality of servers; and
a first switch in communication with an external network and the first plurality of servers, wherein the first plurality of servers communicate with the external network via the first switch in the first multiserver platform, wherein the first switch comprises;
processing circuitry that receives a packet from the external network; and
processing circuitry that transmits the packet to a central switch to forward the packet to a second switch, wherein the second switch is in a second multiserver platform that comprises a second plurality of servers.

Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for multiserver platforms. In some embodiments, a packet from an external network is received in a first switch. The first switch is in a first multiserver platform in which multiple servers communicate with the external network via the first switch. The first switch transmits the packet to a central switch to forward the packet to a second switch in a second multiserver platform. The central switch communicates with the external network via the first switch in the multiserver platform.

16. A non-transitory machine-readable medium embodying a program executable by a first switch in a first multiserver platform, the program comprising:
-
code that causes a first packet from an external network to be received in the first switch; code that causes a second packet from the external network to be received in the first switch; code that causes the first packet to be transmitted by the first switch to at least one of a first plurality of servers in the first multiserver platform, wherein the first plurality of servers communicate with the external network via the first switch; and code that causes the second packet to be transmitted by the first switch to a central switch to forward the packet to a second switch, wherein the second switch is in a second multiserver platform that comprises a second plurality of servers, wherein the second plurality of servers communicate with the external network via the first switch in the first multiserver platform. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
