Abstract
Continuous server service is provided during switching from a current server version to a new server version. After initiating switching, a socket associated with the current server version is left open so that the socket may continue to receive client calls. The socket is then associated with the new server version and client calls received during switching are buffered and subsequently processed by the new server version after switching is complete.
