Abstract
Accessing data stored on a remote server includes determining a first address of a first server where a block of data identified by a key has been moved from a second server to the first server, the second server having a second address. A first entry of a switch flow table of a datacenter network is updated to indicate that received packets with a destination address including the second address are to be overwritten with the first address. The data center network includes a plurality of physical network switches. A second entry in the switch flow table may be configured to forward packets with the first address to a first port associated with the first server and a first set of the switches. If the second entry is not already present in the table, the second entry may be inserted into the switch flow table.
