ZooRoute implements tenant‑transparent, underlay‑agnostic failover by changing the VXLAN outer source port and maintaining per‑destination candidate port sets probed proactively; it uses a bitmap and hierarchical indexing to compress Tofino state (about 15× compression), packet‑triggered register updates and loopback reinjection to avoid PCIe bottlenecks (about 1000× faster updates), and on‑host adaptive probing to cut CPU cost by >95%. Deployed 26 months at Alibaba Cloud, it achieves one-shot deterministic reroute, reduces cumulative outage time by 93.19% and masks 98.21% of failures, typically recovering within 1–3 seconds.
