Abstract
A method includes deploying in series a plurality of configurable devices in a network configured to communicate with one another via a protocol for exchanging state information wherein at least one of the plurality of configurable devices is in an active state and at least one of the plurality of devices is in a standby state, detecting, by the at least one of the plurality of configurable devices in a standby state, a failure of a configurable device in an active state via a protocol and switching the at least one configurable device in a standby state to an active state.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- deploying in series a plurality of configurable devices in a network configured to communicate with one another via a protocol for exchanging state information wherein at least one of the plurality of configurable devices is in an active state and at least one of the plurality of devices is in a standby state;
- detecting, by the at least one of the plurality of configurable devices in a standby state, a failure of a configurable device in an active state via a protocol;
- and
- switching the at least one configurable device in a standby state to an active state.
A system comprising:
- a plurality of configurable devices in a network deployed in series and configured to communicate with one another via a protocol for exchanging state information wherein at least one of the plurality of configurable devices is in an active state and at least one of the plurality of devices is in a standby state;
- wherein the at least one of the plurality of configurable devices in a standby state is adapted to detect a failure of a configurable device in an active state via a protocol and in response thereto switch the at least one configurable device in a standby state to an active state.
A method comprising:
- deploying in series a plurality of configurable devices in a network configured to communicate with one another via a protocol for exchanging state information wherein at least one of the plurality of configurable devices is self-selected to be in an active state and at least one of the plurality of devices is in a standby state;
- detecting, by the at least one of the plurality of configurable devices in a standby state, a failure of a configurable device in an active state via a protocol;
- and
- switching the at least one configurable device in a standby state to an active state.
