Abstract

An efficient technique for recovering multiple connections detects a connection failure affecting multiple clients, selects one of the number of affected clients, repeatedly attempts to reestablish the failed connection between the selected client and the server until the connection is successfully re-established, and then re-establishes the connections for the remaining clients.
