Abstract	Fault tolerance can be defined as the capability of a system or a component to continue normal operation, despite the occurrence of a hardware or a software fault. Frameworks providing a fault tolerant service take advantage of resources' redundancy to provide high availability capabilities. One of the critical challenges that led to this work is the observation that the existing fault tolerance frameworks are not adapted to current and next generation Internet services. Indeed, they do not provide consistent service-aware failure recovery capabilities. Particularly, little interest has been granted to transport level awareness despite its important partaking in improving the reliability of connection oriented services and stateful devices. In this paper, we evaluate an active replication based framework for highly available Internet services. The proposed framework is fully client/server transparent. Performance evaluations show that it incurs minimal overhead to end-to-end conversations during failsafe periods and performs well during failures.
