Abstract
A method and system are disclosed for reestablishing connection information on a switch connected to plural servers in a computer network. In accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present invention, an identification is made, at the switch, of information to be transferred through the switch between a client and a first server. A determination is made of an absence of connection information on the switch for transferring the information from the client to the first server through the switch. In response to determining an absence of connection information, the connection information on the switch is reconstructed using connection information extracted from an information packet passing through the switch from at least one of the plural servers during a connection associated with the information.
