Distributed Virtual Routing (DvR) is a technology for router redundancy in a Fabric deployment where IP subnets are stretched across multiple switches. DvR provides Default Gateway Redundancy and optimizes traffic flows to avoid traffic tromboning due to inefficient routing, thereby increasing the total routing throughput.

The topics in this section provide DvR concepts and configuration procedures.
