Assignee: JUNIPER NETWORKS, INC.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A second node comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors to:
communicate with a first node that routes traffic via a first route path between a first endpoint and a second endpoint,
the first node being an active node associated with a high-availability service established for a communication session;

measure a traffic metric of a second route path via probing between the first endpoint and the second endpoint;
receive, from the first node, a switchover notification that a traffic metric of the first node fails to satisfy a metric threshold and a traffic metric of the second node satisfies the metric threshold;
update one or more parameters of the second node to cause the second node or a member node of a second high-availability cluster to be the active node for routing the traffic to the second endpoint based on receiving the switchover notification; and
route traffic between the first endpoint and the second endpoint via the second route path.
