Abstract
Certain gateways (e.g., some cable or DSL modems) are known to have low reliability and low availability. Most failures of these devices can however be "fixed" by rejuvenating the device after a failure has been detected. Such a detection based rejuvenation strategy permits increasing the availability of these gateways. In the considered scenario, rejuvenation is non-trivial since a failure of such a gateway will leave it partitioned away from the network. In particular, network operators that want to rejuvenate these gateways are in a different network partition, and can therefore not initiate a remote rejuvenation. In this paper we propose a failure detection based rejuvenation service and a remote detection service. The rejuvenation service detects and fixes "soft" failures automatically (in one partition), and the detection service detects (in another partition) all rejuvenations exactly once, within a bounded amount of time, even when the gateway is rejuvenated consecutively. The detection service also allows the detection of "hard" failures, and filtering of notifications of soft failures.
