5.1.2.2 Switching

Usually, userApplication communicates with the remote system using the virtual interface on each node. If a failure (such as panic, hang-up, or transfer path failure) occurs on the operating node, the virtual interface comprised in that corresponding node is passed over to the standby node. With an application allowing reconnection, it takes over the connection of the operating node.
