US Patent 11943143 Routing using specific routes

In some embodiments, a method adds a specific route for an IP address that is associated with a first workload into a routing table for a first network device in a first site in response to the first workload being migrated from a second site to the first site. The first network device receives a packet from a second workload for the first workload and determines that a destination of the packet matches the specific route in the routing table. The method routes the packet from the second workload to the first workload using the specific route in the routing table without sending the packet to the second site.
