Abstract
Approaches to recover from faults associated with multi-homed clients having transport protocol connections that pass through network address translators are disclosed. In one approach, context information for a connection, between a first host and a second host, referencing one of several multi-homed network addresses of the first host, is automatically re-used when the second host switches to a different address of the first host, for example, when the first host becomes unavailable at the original address. Embodiments support seamless switchover of SCTP connections over NAT devices.
