Abstract
A system for redirecting traffic is provided. The system can allow a first switch to participate in a virtual switch in conjunction with a second switch of an overlay tunnel fabric. A path between a respective switch pair of an underlying network of the fabric can be determined based on a routing process. The first and second switches may individually participate in the routing process. Hence, the packets to a tunnel to the virtual switch can be distributed among paths to the first and second switches. The system can determine a trigger condition indicating that packets subsequently received via the tunnel is to be directed to a path to the second switch. The first and second switches can remain in an operational state. The system can then advertise a high cost for a link to the first switch for the routing process in the underlying network.
