Abstract
A standard socket interface is provided to implement socket redundancy. The interface includes socket options to create redundant sockets, obtain the status of redundant sockets, as well as providing error information relating to redundant sockets. A redundant socket may be created on a standby side that becomes active should the active side fail. The standby socket is associated with the active side socket. When an active side fails that has a redundant socket created, the standby side socket seamlessly takes over the sockets operations.
