Abstract: Techniques for detection and handling of virtual appliance failures. In one aspect, a method is implemented on a host platform on which a hypervisor (aka Virtual Machine Manager) and a plurality of virtual machines (VMs) are running, the plurality of VMs collectively hosting a plurality of Software Defined Networking (SDN) and/or Network Function Virtualization (NFV) appliances that are communicatively coupled via a virtual network. A software-based entity running on the host platform is configured to monitor the plurality of virtual network appliances to detect failures of the virtual network appliances. In response to detection of a virtual network appliance failure, messages containing configuration information are implemented to reconfigure packet flows to bypass the virtual network appliance that has failed.

Abstract translation: 检测和处理虚拟设备故障的技术。 一方面，在主机平台上实现一种方法，在该主机平台上管理虚拟机管理程序（又称虚拟机管理器）和多个虚拟机（VM），所述多个虚拟机共同托管多个软件定义网络（SDN），以及 /或通过虚拟网络通信耦合的网络功能虚拟化（NFV）设备。 在主机平台上运行的基于软件的实体被配置为监视多个虚拟网络设备以检测虚拟网络设备的故障。 为了响应对虚拟网络设备故障的检测，实现包含配置信息的消息以重新配置分组流以绕过已经失败的虚拟网络设备。
