Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for detection of a path break in a communication network by one network appliance of a plurality of network appliance. A communication path that is transitioning from active to idle state can be quickly determined by evaluating network data traffic within a predetermined time interval after the end of a data transmission. By strategically utilizing health probes at only a set predetermined time interval after a data transmission, a path break condition can be quickly determined without significant use of network bandwidth. Further, the path break condition can be determined unilaterally by one network appliance.
