Abstract
A solution for virtual router redundancy for server virtualization includes, at a network device configured as a backup router of a virtual router, examining a packet stored in a memory of the network device. Responsive to the examining, the network device determines whether to forward the packet via a network towards a destination or to send the packet via the network to a master router of the virtual router for forwarding of the packet, by the master router, towards the destination.
