Scenario is a pair of processes are running one in "master" node say "masterprocess" and one in "slave" node say "slaveprocess". When "masterprocess" needs service of slave process, it sends message to "slaveprocess" and "slaveprocess" serves its request. In case of Network failure(by any means) "masterprocess" will keep trying to send message to "slaveprocess" without knowing that it is not reachable. So how "masterprocess" should finds out that "slaveprocess" can't be reached and leave attempting to send messages till Connection is not up. Thanks & Regards, -- Vipin K.
