Abstract
In an approach for achieving resilience and load balancing control over layer 2 gateways in a cluster, a processor forms a cluster, wherein the cluster includes one or more layer 2 gateways. A processor registers endpoints for a tenant system attached to a virtual network through a bridge network to add to an endpoint database used to associate a destination MAC address with the cluster. A processor distributes flow of data.
