  • Patent number: 12355661
    Abstract: Failover functionality is by identifying at least two network paths for a media communications session between a virtual machine at a computing environment and a client application. Unique Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are assigned for the at least two network paths. Based on application and network metrics at the computing environment, a network condition at the computing environment is determined that is indicative of a performance degradation of the media communications session. A signal is communicated to the client service indicating a switch to a second path of the at least two network paths and a second of the unique IP addresses.
