Abstract:
Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a first network edge device configuring a mapping between a physical network interface and a plurality of logical interfaces. A second network edge device also configures a mapping between a physical network interface and a copy of the plurality of logical interfaces. Each of the logical interfaces is assigned a corresponding set of first and second layer networking addresses that is replicated across the first and second network edge devices. The first network edge device receives a first address resolution request via the physical network interface of the first network edge device that includes a source and a destination. The destination is an address assigned to one of the plurality of logical interfaces. The first network edge device determines a second layer networking address assigned to the destination logical interface and transmits an address resolution response including the determined second layer networking address.
