ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for providing fault tolerance of an application over a Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) connection. A method for moving a transport connection from a first host to a second host on a network is also described. After establishing a transport connection between the first host and a peer host, first information about the transport connection is transferred to the second host. Upon the first host becoming unavailable, the second host sends to the peer host a request to update the state of the transport connection. The peer host then updates the transport connection. Without resetting the transport connection, the second host then establishes the same transport connection with the peer host.
