I am currently checking the usage of Nortel Load balancer:'Nortel Alteon' 2208/3408.
I would like to know whether these load balancers provide the support for Transparent Failover.
Assume there are 2 Alteon servers configured in Active/Hot Standby redundancy mode. A client has setup a session with the active Alteon server. What happens to the session, connection, when this Alteon server fails? Will the Failover to the other Alteon server, be transparent to the Client? How does it work? Is 'VRRP Active-Standby Virtual Server Router (VSR)' feature used for this purpose?
Can anybody give some details on it?
