Abstract
In forming a cluster of processors and applications among a plurality of processors connected in a network the embodiment of a pair of cluster nodes, as applications, in each server/system and arranging for communication between them in a ring or tiered ring configuration of servers/systems provides network status monitoring and failure recovery in a highly redundant and flexible manner at increased speed without the requirement of separate communication links for monitoring and control or redundant hardware such as a so-called “hot standby” processor in each server/system.
