Abstract
Example implementation relates to a method of failure detection and seamless traffic switchover in a VPN system. A cluster of nodes exchange heartbeat messages to detect a failure at a first node in the cluster. When failure is detected at the first node, a master node transmits a failover message to a network end node connected to the first node. The failover message includes a list of active nodes to which traffic may be routed. The network end node updates its routing table based on the failover message and switches the traffic to a second node in the cluster of nodes.
