Abstract
A system for connection failover using redirection includes a primary server comprising a primary connection failover driver (CFD), a shadow server comprising a shadow CFD, and a client. The primary and shadow servers and the client are coupled via a network. The primary server and the client are configured to cooperate to establish a network connection. The primary CFD is configured to redirect a first message packet, targeted for transmission to the client over the network connection, to the shadow server. The shadow CFD is configured to copy contents of the first message packet into a log, and forward the first message packet to the client after the contents have been copied.
