Thanks Dave for your reply. Below is my usecase: Currently I have a single worker thread processing traffic. To scale the throughput, I would like to 'handoff' some packet processing to second worker thread. I would like to do this dynamically(i.e handoff packet from any node based on a cli command).
For example: *node1(on worker 1) => handoff=> node2(on worker 2)* node1, node2 are inputs to cli which should setup this flow. Currently, I was able to handoff between two fixed nodes(using readily available handoff nodes). I'm now trying to extend this to any two nodes.
