Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005031588A1] A system enabled for reliable and ordered data communication between two sets of nodes with atomic multi-point delivery and multi-point transmission, for example, extending TCP/IP is described hereon. When multiple nodes must be delivered with data, the delivery is performed atomically. A system enabled for fault-tolerant symmetric multi-computing using a group of nodes is also described hereon. A symmetrical group of nodes networked using a reliable, ordered, and atomic group-to-group TCP communication system is used in providing fault-tolerance and single system image to client applications. The communication between the client and the group is standards based in that any standard TCP/IP endpoint is able to seamlessly communicate with the group. The processing load is shared among a group of nodes with transparent distribution of tasks to application segments. The system is fault-tolerant in that if a node fails remaining replicas if any continue service without disruption of service or connection.
