Abstract

Methods and systems for gracefully rerouting connections between client devices and server devices are disclosed. The method may include suspending a logical connection between a client device and a service provided by a server device set and placing the logical connection in a predetermined state. While the logical connection is in the predetermined state, modifying a transmission path supporting the logical connection to remove a first aggregator that was previously in the transmission path and add a second aggregator to a second server device set to the transmission path. Using the modified transmission path, the logical connection may be resumed to enable the client device to resume use of the service provided by the second server device set.
