Product: OpenFusion RTOrb Java

Version: ALL

Description:

When a connection fails due to a network failure, will the connection re-established when the network is restored?

Resolution:

Assuming that the both the Server and Client are unaffected by the loss of network and are still running, then if the network is restored within the Operating System keep-alive timeout limit then RTOrb will continue as before.

If the Operating System detects a 'dead' connection it will close it. This time varies between Operating Systems (around 2 hours for Windows, 4 hours for Linux and Solaris).

If the network is restored after this keep-alive timeout the client will need to establish a new TCP connection as the previous one will have been closed by the Operating System.
