Abstract
A method including operating in an apparatus a multi-point multi-path transport protocol providing a multi-point multi-path transport connection, and using said apparatus in said multi-point multi-path transport connection as a part of an end system formed by said apparatus and other apparatuses that are physically distinct from said apparatus.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- operating in an apparatus a multi-point multi-path transport protocol providing a multi-point multi-path transport connection using said apparatus in said multi-point multi-path transport connection as a part of a distributed logical server formed by said apparatus and other apparatuses that are physically distinct from said apparatus;
- keeping the multi-point multi-path transport connection synchronized between said apparatus and said other apparatuses belonging to the same distributed logical server;
- wherein the distributed logical server is reachable at a set of Internet addresses where said set comprises more than one Internet address;
- and
- wherein said apparatus is reachable at at least one, but fewer than all, of said Internet addresses, and wherein other Internet addresses of said set belong to said other apparatuses physically distinct from said apparatus of said set, but belonging to the same distributed logical server, and wherein at least one of the other apparatuses is reachable to said apparatus at at least one of the other Internet addresses of said set.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform actions comprising at least:
- operating a multi-point multi-path transport protocol providing a multi-point multi-path transport connection;
- and
- using the apparatus in said multi-point multi-path transport connection as a part of a distributed logical server formed by said apparatus and other apparatuses that are physically distinct from said apparatus;
- keeping the multi-point multi-path transport connection synchronized between said apparatus and said other apparatuses belonging to the same distributed logical server;
- wherein the distributed logical server is reachable at a set of Internet addresses where said set comprises more than one Internet address;
- and
- wherein said apparatus is reachable at at least one, but fewer than all, of said Internet addresses, and wherein other Internet addresses of said set belong to said other apparatuses physically distinct from said apparatus of said set, but belonging to the same distributed logical server and wherein at least one of the other apparatuses is reachable to said apparatus at at least one of the other Internet addresses of said set.
8 more elements
A computer program embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable program code which, when executed by at least one processor of an apparatus, causes the apparatus to perform actions comprising at least:
- operating a multi-point multi-path transport protocol providing a multi-point multi-path transport connection;
- and
- using the apparatus in said multi-point multi-path transport connection as a part of a distributed logical server formed by said apparatus and other apparatuses that are physically distinct from said apparatus;
- keeping the multi-point multi-path transport connection synchronized between said apparatus and said other apparatuses belonging to the same distributed logical server;
- wherein the distributed logical server is reachable at a set of Internet addresses where said set comprises more than one Internet address;
- and
- wherein said apparatus is reachable at at least one, but fewer than all, of said Internet addresses, and wherein other Internet addresses of said set belong to said other apparatuses physically distinct from said apparatus of said set, but belonging to the same distributed logical server and wherein at least one of the other apparatuses is reachable to said apparatus at at least one of the other Internet addresses of said set.
