Abstract
A method and system is provided for a scalable clustered system. The method and system may handle asynchronous traffic as well as session backup. In the method and system, a home cluster member having ownership of a local session predicts designation of a an other cluster member to receive a packet associated with the local session and sends appropriate state information or forwarding instruction to the other network member.
Claims5
A method of synchronizing a clustered system having at least a first member and a second member, the method comprising:
- a. Relaying from the first member to the second member information associated with a reply packet that has an altered connection designator before arrival of said packet to the second member, and
- b. predicting designation of the second member to receive said packet.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
