Abstract
A system, method, and computer program for providing tunneling redundancy is provided. The method may include using router redundancy protocols on routers at endpoints of virtual IP tunnels to allow for failover of a master router to a backup router that assumes control over a virtual IP address in order to keep packet transmission in the virtual IP tunnel flowing with minimal interruption and no remote reconfiguration.
