maintaining, by a first routing device, a communication session with a target device, wherein the first routing device receives packets from a source device via a first interface and transmits the packets to the target device via a second interface;
detecting, by the first routing device, a problem with a connection between the first routing device and the target device;
transmitting, by the first routing device, an emergency connection message to a second routing device via a third interface in response to detecting the problem with the connection between the first routing device and the target device;
receiving, by the first routing device, an emergency connection acknowledgement message from the second routing device; and
transmitting, by the first routing device, one or more packets received from the source device to the second routing device via the third interface in response to detecting the problem with the connection between the first routing device and the target device and receipt of the emergency connection acknowledgement message from the second routing device, wherein the second routing device transmits the one or more packets to the target device.
