According to one aspect of the teachings herein, a Network Services Capability Layer or NSCL 22 is configured to initiate failure recovery responsive to detecting an abnormal reset at the NSCL. Failure recovery operations exploit recovery information 46 that is maintained by the NSCL in a persistent data store 44 during normal operation, e.g., on an ongoing basis, in real-time as new M2M registrations or other M2M information changes occur at the NSCL. Such operations advantageously permit the NSCL to recover missing or corrupted information after the abnormal reset, from M2M entities identified from the recovery information 46. |
