  • Failover system and method for diverting data traffic over a replacement access network
    Patent number: 11489764
    Abstract: A communications router (6) is provided with an add-on device (7) for diverting data traffic over a replacement connection (70, 80) when a primary connection route (60) meets a failover criterion. Traffic addressed to an allocated network address associated with the primary connection (60) is diverted to a network termination of the replacement connection (70) by a routing function (31) if the replacement connection (70) has been authenticated by an authentication system (35). Authentication is provided by setting up an association between the internet IP address of the router (6) when addressed through the link (60), and a network identity of the add-in unit (7).
