This paper describes the design, implementation, and performance evaluation of ST-TCP (Server fault-Tolerant TCP), which is an extension of TCP to tolerate TCP server failures. Th...
ST-TCP (Server fault-Tolerant TCP) is an extension of TCP to tolerate TCP server failures. Server fault tolerance is provided by using an active-backup server that keeps track of ...

Methods are presented to increase resiliency to server failures by migrating long running, secure TCP-based connections to backup servers, thus mitigating damage from servers disa...
In a recent paper [2] we have proposed FT-TCP: an architecture that allows a replicated service to survive crashes without breaking its TCP connections. FT-TCP is attractive in pr...

Abstract. This paper proposes a novel scheme, named ER-TCP, which transparently masks the failures happened on the server nodes in a cluster from clients at TCP connection granular...
Abstract— The goal of data center networking is to interconnect a large number of server machines with low equipment cost, high and balanced network capacity, and robustness to l...
