Abstract
Methods and apparatus for providing redundancy in an asynchronous data transfer and source traffic control system include configuring a primary client and a backup client with the same receive address but different transmit addresses. This allows both clients to receive the same traffic flows by utilizing a common receive address while maintaining independent transmit identity allowing each client to communicate with other clients in the system. The methods of the present invention are compatible with a CellBus® system operating in either 16-client mode or 32-client mode.
