Patent number: 10735499Abstract: A control-plane component of a virtual network interface (VNI) multiplexing service assigns one or more VNIs as members of a first interface group. A first VNI of the interface group is attached to a first compute instance. Network traffic directed to a particular endpoint address associated with the first interface group is to be distributed among members of the first interface group by client-side components of the service. The control-plane component propagates membership metadata of the first interface group to the client-side components. In response to a detection of an unhealthy state of the first compute instance, the first VNI is attached to a different compute instance by the control-plane component.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2019Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Tobias Lars-Olov Holgers, Kevin Christopher Miller, Andrew Bruce Dickinson, David Carl Salyers, Xiao Zhang, Shane Ashley Hall, Christopher Ian Hendrie, Aniket Deepak Divecha, Ralph William Flora
