Abstract
A method, system, and computer readable medium for reconfiguring a virtual network path. A virtual switching table associated with virtual network interface cards (VNICs) is populated and used to implement the virtual network path. The virtual network path includes a first virtual wire between a first VNIC located in a first computer and a second VNIC located in a second computer. A first network packet and a second network packet are placed in a receive buffer associated with the second VNIC. The first network packet is transmitted to the second VNIC using the virtual switching table. The second VNIC is migrated from the second computer to a third computer. The virtual switching table is updated based on migrating the second VNIC. The second network packet is transmitted to the second VNIC in the third computer using the virtual switching table.
