Abstract
A network device establishes a logical channel with each server device of multiple server devices, where each logical channel is not shared with another server device of the multiple server devices. The network device also determines a network loopback Internet protocol (IP) address for each server device of the multiple server devices, and associates each network loopback IP address with a corresponding logical channel. The network device further receives a packet destined for a particular server device, and provides the packet to the particular server device via the logical channel associated with the particular server device.
