Abstract
A computing environment (2) includes multiple CPUs (5a-c), multiple nonshared memory spaces and a means for implementing a select system call (10a-c). The connection maintenance system is both fault-tolerant and scalable in that agents (30-33a-c) exist independently in each nonshared memory space to handle interprocess connections between memory
