Abstract
Systems and physical computer-readable storage medium are provided to improve efficiency of systems operating on internet protocol (IP) over Infiniband (IB) networks. In an embodiment, by way of example only, a method is provided for implementing redundancy for IB networks. The method includes detecting a failure at a first source port of a source node having a plurality of source ports, selecting a new source port, sending an address resolution protocol (ARP) message to one or more other nodes in communication with the source node including an IP address of the source node and IB address of the new source port of the source node, and re-balancing host traffic.
