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...
This paper presents speculative TCP connection admission, a mechanism for improving sub-optimal request distribution decisions in cluster-based servers. Overloaded server nodes in...
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...
This paper presents a set of techniques for providing fine-grained failover of long-running connections across a distributed collection of replica servers, and is especially usefu...
Interactive applications such as email, calendar, and maps are migrating from local desktop machines to data centers due to the many advantages offered by such a computing environ...

This paper describes a highly available distributedvideo on demand (VoD) service which is inherently fault tolerant. The VoD service is provided by multiple servers that reside at...
