Abstract
The disclosure provides an approach for eliminating issues associated with the use of an L2 extension and ARP calls after migrating a virtual machine from one host to another host. The approach involves placing nodes within a network within their own subnetworks, each subnetwork having an IP address range of one address. Placing nodes into subnets of one avoids intra-subnet forwarding, eliminating the need for ARP calls and for L2 extensions.
