Abstract
In [8], a high availability framework based on Harary graph as network topology has been proposed for stateful failover. Framework proposed therein exhibits an interesting property that an uniform load can be given to each non-faulty node while maintaining fault tolerance. A challenging problem in this context, which has not been addressed in [8] is to be able to come up with a distributed algorithm of automated fault recovery which can exploit the properties exhibited by the framework. In this work, we propose a distributed algorithm with low message and round complexity for automated fault recovery in case of stateful failover. We then prove the correctness of the algorithm using techniques from formal verification. The safety, liveness and the timeliness properties of the algorithm have been verified by the model checker SPIN.
