tcpcp is a mechanism that allows cooperating applications to pass
ownership of TCP connection endpoints from one Linux host to another
one.
Such functionality should be useful in load-balancing and failover applications. tcpcp can be used between hosts using different architectures and does not need the other endpoint of the connection to cooperate (or even to know what's going on). This project started in 2002 as a prototype study, went on hiatus for most of 2003, and is now continuing as one of my spare time activities. |
