Abstract
Various methods and systems for ending a communication protocol connection in response to detecting the failure of a cluster node are disclosed. One method involves detecting a failed node within a cluster. The failed node communicates with a client via a communication protocol connection. In response to detecting the failed node, a communication protocol message is sent to the client. Receipt of the communication protocol message causes the client to terminate the communication protocol connection.
