<p>The present invention relates to a communications stack, for connection management in a communications system. The communications system consists of at least two communicating application programs. Both application programs communicate over a connection via the communications stack. The communication stack comprises a connection resetting means that is adapted to reset the connection by closing all connection involved elements, a signal reception means that is able to receive at least one signal for managing said connection and a connection persisting means that is adapted to keep the connection persistent. The communications stack additionally contains a decision means that is adapted to delay the reset of the connection if a terminated application signal is received via the signal reception means. If the communication stack subsequently, via the signal reception means, receives a successful application restart signal, the decision means decides to persist the connection if the application restart signal is received before expiration of said delay. <IMAGE></p> |
