Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include virtualization software of a host computer receiving a first packet addressed to a first virtual link layer address. Each of a first plurality of virtual machines on the first host computer is configured to share the first virtual link layer address. The virtualization software of the first host computer maps a flow of packets, including the first packet, to a first virtual machine within the first plurality of virtual machines and forwards the first packet to the first virtual machine. The virtualization software of the first host computer receives a second packet from the first virtual machine in response to the first packet. The second packet includes the first virtual link layer address as a source address for the first virtual machine.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems configure a first set of ports of a first host device and a second set of ports to be included within a first link aggregation group (LAG). The first and second host devices further configure, respectively, a first synchronization port that does not share a common LAG with the second host device and a second synchronization port that does not share a common LAG with the first host device. The first host device receives a first packet destined for a virtual machine running on the second host device, the first packet including source and destination information. The first host device determines from the source or destination information that the first packet is destined for a virtual machine running on another host device. In response, the first host device forwards the packet via the first synchronization port to the second host device.
