Abstract
A system and method can support virtual network interface card (NIC) failover in a middleware machine environment. The middleware machine environment includes a local management node and a remote management node. The system provides a local NIC driver and a remote proxy instance on a local management node. The remote proxy instance can associate a machine address with a remote NIC driver on a remote management node that is connected with the local remote management node in a subnet. Furthermore, the remote proxy instance operates to direct packets to and from the remote NIC driver using the machine address.
