Patent abstract

Dynamic discovery of active peer applications and information related thereof in a network is described. In one embodiment of the present invention, the discovery and information related to peer applications is maintained by a plurality of network device peers. This information is supplemented by device or peer application failure information, which is identified through point-to-point communication initiated by a failure to receive a multicast packet from a particular network peer application.
