  • Layer 2 load balancing system
    Patent number: 10715449
    Abstract: A layer 2 load balancing system includes server devices that provide virtual machines that each share a virtual Media Access Control (MAC) address. A switch device is coupled to each of the server devices via respective ports on the switch device. The switch device receives the virtual MAC address during a time period via each of the respective ports connected to the server devices and, in response, identifies a server device cluster that shares the virtual MAC address. When the switch device receive packets that are part of a packet flow and that are directed to the virtual MAC address, it then directs each of the packets that are part of the packet flow to one of the virtual machines that is provided on one of the server devices in the server device cluster.
