Abstract
A Network Virtualization Device (NVD) executes a set of Virtual Network Interface Cards (VNICs). The set of VNICs includes a first VNIC that forwards packets for a set of one or more packet flows. The NVD stores a first VNIC-related information that includes information identifying a first set of one or more packet flows and associated state information The NVD in response to determining that the state information for the first VNIC is to be synchronized with another NVD, identifies a first backup NVD for the first VNIC, wherein the first backup NVD is a backup for the first VNIC, and communicates to the first backup NVD, a portion of the state information stored by the NVD for the first VNIC.
