SIMPLIFYING CONNECTION ESTABLISHMENT IN SYSTEMS ACCESSING OTHER SYSTEMS VIA REDUNDANT ADDRESSABLE GATEWAYS

摘要

According to an aspect of the present invention, any of the redundant gateways selected to operate as an active gateway, is configured to be accessible by a pre-specified address. As a result, any systems communicating with other systems via a .gateway may use the same pre-specified address to access the other system irrespective of which of the redundant gateways is operating as an active gateway. The implementation of systems is simplified as a result.
