Abstract
A cluster compute server comprises a set of one or more compute nodes, each compute node instantiating at least one virtual network interface controller representing a network interface controller of a primary network node remote to the compute node and appearing as a local network interface controller to the compute node. A first network node comprising a network interface controller coupleable to an external network operates as the primary network node for the set. The first network node emulates link aggregation partners for virtual network interfaces of the set based on first link state information maintained at the first network node. A second network node comprising a network interface controller coupleable to the external operates as a secondary network node for the set. The second network node maintains second link state information that mirrors the first link state information maintained at the first network node.
