MUMBAI, India, June 16 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611055008 A) filed by ABES Engineering College, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, on April 30, for 'proactive failover in secure networks for long-term router reliability.'
Inventor(s) include Gaurav Vats; Kartikeya Tripathi; Himanshu Gautam; and Deepanshu.
The application for the patent was published on June 5, under issue no. 23/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a system and method for proactive failover in networks configured with Hot Standby Router Protocol to enhance long-term router reliability and operational efficiency. The system comprises at least two routers configured as active and standby units sharing a virtual gateway, and an automation module configured to monitor network parameters and execute policy-driven role switching between the routers. The automation module utilizes programmable scripting to modify router configuration parameters, thereby enabling controlled and periodic transition of roles without manual intervention. The system ensures seamless failover by maintaining synchronization of routing information and continuity of network connectivity, thereby minimizing packet loss and latency. By distributing workload between routers and preventing prolonged continuous operation of a single device, the invention reduces hardware stress and extends operational lifespan. The invention provides a scalable, automated, and efficient solution for enhancing reliability and performance in high-availability network environments."
