DESCRIPTION:
Reliable application service is critical to many different
applications. Examples include call control, mobility location
registers, and e-commerce websites. Reliability can be implemented
using an application server pool, where multiple hosts support a
single application with redundancy and/or load sharing.
Existing server pooling mechanisms are typically proprietary and
designed for specific applications. As a result they cannot be
extended to heterogeneous environments and new applications.
The Reliable Server Pooling effort will focus on standardizing a
generalized mechanism to provide a client with reliable service(s)
provided by an application server pool. The objective is to cleanly
separate the application from the reliability mechanism and allow
different types of applications to use a common reliability framework
and protocols.
