Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with detecting a node death in a clustered distributed system are described. In one embodiment, a method includes transmitting a ping message to a peer node in the network. If a reply to the ping message is not received from the peer node, a query is sent to table of port identifiers that lists ports in the cluster. In one embodiment, the query includes a port identifier associated with the peer node. The peer node is declared as inactive/dead when the query fails to locate a match in the table for the port identifier. When the query locates a match in the table for the port identifier, another ping message is periodically transmitted to the peer node.
