AUTOMATIC FAILOVER HANDLING MINIMIZATION IN WIRELESS NETWORK ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:

A mechanism is disclosed for automatically detecting whether the client device is experiencing wireless communication issues and switching communications from a first server group to second server group, if necessary. Responsive to determining that the client device is experiencing wireless communication issues, the system performs a health check against the second server group, and responsive to determining, based on the health check, that the issue is on the client device, the system refrains from failing over to the second server group. Responsive to determining that the client device is not experiencing issues, the system fails over to a second server group. When the client device determines that the first server group is available, the client device fails back to the first server group.
