  • Publication number: 20250132974
    Abstract: Described is an improved approach to IP failover in a computing system. An approach is described which allows each node to perform its own sorted ordering of the interface devices on that node, but in a way where each node will deterministically come up with the exact same sorted order as another node. In this way, each node will select the exact same failover target as any other node, without requiring complicated coordination logic and without the need for a centralized coordinator.

  • Publication number: 20250133131
    Abstract: Described is an improved system, method, and computer program product for performing elections in a computing system. Approaches are described for the non-leader member of a member set to self-identify to be the vice-leader. When it detects a death, rather than wait the random, bounded period, the vice-leader can immediately send its “vote for me” message to other members. This puts it ahead of the race by other members to announce their candidacies, and results in vastly more frequent conclusion of the election in the initial round.
