  • Patent number: 10645183
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which is stored machine readable instructions that are to cause the processor to access a request from a client device, and send the request to a first endpoint, in which the first endpoint is configured to generate a first response to the request. The instructions are further to cause the processor to receive the first response from the first endpoint, in which the first response includes redirect information for the request, select, based upon the redirect information, a second endpoint that is configured to generate a second response to the request, send the request to the selected second endpoint, receive the second response from the second endpoint, and send a final response to the client device, the final response including information included in both the first response and the second response.

  • Publication number: 20050243710
    Abstract: A fault-tolerant router first and second router matrix card. The first and second router matrix cards receive a common set of 4n parity encoded input digital audio data streams and respectively generates therefrom, first and second sets of M output digital audio streams. As the first and second sets of data streams propagate along the first and second router matrix cards, respectively, one or more health bits are set whenever an error or other type of fault condition is detected. First and second parity check circuits are configured to detect parity errors and/or assess the relative health of the first and second sets of data streams and one of the two sets of data streams is selected as the output of the fault-tolerant router based upon either the parity error analysis, health analysis or both.
