Subject: Question : Session trunking fail-over

Hello, I have a question about Session trunking.
In the RFC 5661 the "2.10.13.1.2.Connection Loss" specify how to do
if the LAST connection of the session is lost. There no specification
when the lost connection is not the last connection of the session. Is
there a fail-over mecanism for the session trunking connection loss?

Thank you.
Martin

I believe the RFC provides all the necessary protocol which a client
would need to implement such a failover mechanism. The Linux client
doesn't currently attempt to do that.
