Abstract
Techniques are presented herein for optimizing and load balancing network traffic exchanged between devices in a network environment. At a first device in a cluster of devices in a network, a packet is received from a second device in the cluster. The packet comprises identifier information that is assigned to the first device. The identifier information is reassigned to the second device in the cluster such that subsequent packets with the identifier information are sent directly to the second device. A mapping table is updated to indicate that the identifier information is reassigned to the second device.
