Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to a first network device in a primary region that can failover network traffic into a second network device in a failover region. The first network device can receive routing criteria identifying how traffic originating in the primary region should be routed. The first network device can transmit this routing criteria to the second network device in the failover region. Based on determining the occurrence of a failover event, the first network device may transmit network traffic originating in the primary region to the second network device in the failover region. The second network device can determine how to route the network traffic based on the routing criteria of the primary region. In some embodiments, the second network device can determine how to route the network traffic based on the routing criteria of the failover region.
