  • Increased network availability for computers using redundancy
    Patent number: 6721801
    Abstract: A method for providing data paths between a sending computer and a receiving computer. The method is comprised of steps of periodically receiving broadcasted data through a first subnet data path and through a second subnet data path, and reception of the broadcasted data on either of the subnets indicates status of the respective subnet. The method continues on to change local data routing tables in the sending computer and the receiving computer based upon the status of at least one of the subnets, providing high reliability in a peer-to-peer environment.
