Abstract
In a system including a network, a client device connected to the network may employ services (e.g., data storage or analysis) provided by resources (e.g., computing and storage resources) of servers that are in the network and connected to the network. Under various circumstances, the ability of such a server to provide a service may degrade, or, e.g., if the server fails, cease entirely. As such, systems and methods for providing network resilience using interim nodes are provided.
