Estimating the term…
An intermediary gateway, such as a streaming meter, with internal failover operation. In an example, the gateway contains (i) main gateway logic, including as a main network interface and main processor with associated data storage holding instructions executable by the main processor to govern operation of the gateway, and (ii) backup gateway logic, including as a backup network interface and backup processor with associated data storage also holding instructions executable by the main processor to govern operation of the gateway. Further, the main program instructions are executable by the main processor to detect a failure of the main processor to communicate on the network and to responsively cause activation of the backup gateway logic as active gateway logic of the gateway, to facilitate continued operation of the gateway.
A streaming meter operable on a network, the streaming meter comprising:
An intermediary gateway operable on a network, the intermediary gateway comprising:
A method for internal failover of an intermediary gateway on a network, the method comprising:
