ABSTRACT:
A method for managing redundant network components is disclosed. A network component operable to perform in an active mode is monitored. The network component is coupled to a mate network component through a communication network comprising a portion of an Internet network. An operating mode of the network component is determined. The mate network component is switched to perform in an active mode if the network component is not performing in an active mode. The network component and the mate network component communicate using an Internet protocol.
