METHODS FOR IMPROVED SERVER REDUNDANCY IN DYNAMIC NETWORKS

摘要

In one embodiment, a server (106) is assigned a candidate secondary server role such that the dynamic network (1000) employs a "make-before-break" redundancy where redundant nodes proactively synchronize replicated data and state information with a standby secondary server prior to releasing the responsibilities of active primary (102) and/ or secondary (104) server(s). The "make-before- break" redundancy ensures relatively high availability of dynamic networks and realized services.
