Abstract
A method is implemented by a network device for improving availability of network component using multi-chassis redundancy by efficiently re-routing data traffic intended for the network component in the event of a link or node failure. The network device is in a set of network devices hosting the network component each network device in the set of network devices having a shared cluster identifier and a separate node identifier. The set of network devices hosting the network component share a virtual internet protocol address.
