Abstract
A method includes receiving at a branch device an assigned first hub device and an assigned second hub device associated with a data center, establishing a VPN data tunnel to the assigned first and second hub devices, designating the first hub device as a primary device, designating the second hub device as a secondary device and switching traffic destined for the primary device to the secondary device based, at least in part, on a cost of a link.
