Resilient peer-to-peer application message routing
Abstract:
Example embodiments relate to a method of, and device for facilitating, resilient peer-to-peer application message routing. The method comprises storing a network routing table comprising destination addresses of applications hosted on peer nodes of a network, and providing the peer nodes with a copy of the routing table via which routing table an application message from any one of the peer nodes is routed to a destination address designating a destination application hosted by a destination peer node. Further, the method comprises providing, when the destination application hosted by the destination peer node is inactivated, all peer nodes with a copy of an updated routing table taking into account the inactivation of said application, wherein a further application message addressed from any one of the peer nodes to the destination address associated with the inactivated application is routed via the updated routing table, to an alternative destination application having the same destination address as the inactivated application.
