Abstract
Disclosed is an improved approach for managing floating/virtual IP addresses in a virtualization system. Where a bare metal cloud provider does not provide adequate facilities to implement broadcast operations, the approach would capture broadcast packets, and from the captured packets, generate calls to the cloud provider to implement configuration changes to reflect the changes desired by the broadcast packets.
