  • Patent number: 7593323
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for managing communications traffic on a fault tolerant network are disclosed. The exemplary system may include a fault tolerant network with at least two nodes and at least two channels of communication. Each channel of communication is in communication with each of the two nodes. Each node selectively communicates on one of the plurality of channels. A switch is in communication with the at least two channels. The switch receives network traffic and terminates network traffic on one or more of the channels. The termination of network traffic causes a fault tolerance manager to reroute network traffic on one of the two communication channels based on received network traffic.
