Abstract
A client application sends a request to a given server of a replicated group of servers, and expects a response to the request. If the client does not receive a response to the request, or if the server is otherwise unavailable, the client is automatically reconnected to another server of the replicated group. The servers of the replicated group do not, however, have to have any knowledge of the communication session of the client.
