What do you mean exactly? do you mean the connection
between nodes?
Connection between nodes (for pinging and status sending) can be
achieved via various ETH interfaces or serial link. If node 2 detects
that node 1 doesnt' reply then node 2 takes the control of the virtual
IP and services.
what i tried to say that if your two sip proxy host, which, for
performance reasons, should be physically close to each other, i.e., in
the same lan, see each other up and running, it does not mean that the
service is reachable from the outside. you may have, for example,
some network equipment broken that affects reachability to one host and
not to the other.
HA runs on several nodes, and all the nodes send
status information to
others. It's not a centralized monitorization system but a distributed
one.
what kind of algorithm it has to choose which host becomes the active
one if both hosts come up at about same time after powers loss?
