TRANSPARENT SESSION MIGRATION ACROSS SERVERS

摘要

Techniques allow a client to be switched from a session on a server to another session on another server in a way that is a transparent to the application for which the initial session was established. Thus, under transparent session migration, a client is switched between sessions without executing application instructions tailored to accomplish the migration. Instead, a client-side interface component, through which the application interacts with the server, handles details of migration, modifying the internal state of the client-side interface component to effect the same. Legacy applications do not have to be modified in order to institute techniques described herein.
