1. A system for increasing throughput of encapsulated data over a network, comprising:
a first network device; and
a second network device communicatively coupled to the first network device,
wherein the first network device comprises
a tunneling logic to generate and manage a first plurality of connections, the first plurality of connections corresponding in number to a plurality of virtual computing resources; and
a demultiplexer logic configured to (i) receive a plurality of data for transmission, (ii) associate the received data with a first connection of the first plurality of connections, (iii) generate translation data unique to a tunneling session associated with the first connection of the first plurality of connections, and (iv) encapsulate the received data with the translation data prior to transmission during the tunneling session.
