A method for obtaining, by a first network device of a pair of network devices, a packet, wherein the packet specifies a source address corresponding to a first client device and a destination address corresponding to a second client device, making a first determination, by the first network device and using the source address and the destination address, that the first network device is not an owner of bidirectional traffic associated with the packet, based on the first determination, transmitting, by the first network device, the packet to a second network device of the pair of network devices, making a second determination, by the second network device, that the second network device is the owner of bidirectional traffic associated with the packet, performing, in response to the second determination and by the second network device, data processing on the packet to generate a processing result.

Mechanism to manage bidirectional traffic for high availability network devices

A method for transmitting network traffic across a wide area network (WAN) from a first site to a second site is provided. The method is executed by a first edge network device at the first site that further includes a second edge network device, and the method includes: receiving the network traffic from a client device at the first site; determining, using ipath characteristics and a classification of the network traffic, that the network traffic should be transmitted by the second edge network device to the second site; forwarding in response to the determination, the network traffic to the second edge network device using a local tunnel over a local area network (LAN) of the first site such that the network traffic is transmitted to the second site by the second edge network device.
