Systems and methods for dynamic routing on a shared IP address

Abstract:

The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for dynamic routing on an IP address shared by a cluster of nodes. In an implementation, a first node of a cluster of nodes can receive a unicast routing protocol packet from a peer router. The unicast routing protocol packet can be addressed to a shared IP address established across the cluster of nodes. The cluster of nodes can be intermediary to a plurality of clients and a plurality of servers. The first node can identify a second node identified as a routing leader. The first node can steer the packet to the second node in response to determining that the routing protocol packet is a unicast routing protocol packet. The second node can be configured to advertise virtual IP address routes to the network over the routing adjacency and maintain routing adjacencies.
