Another approach is to provide multiple paths of connectivity between the computers that make up the distributed system. The QNX system, for example, supports multiple network drivers per node. The purpose of the network connection under QNX is to merge the microkernels on the LAN into a single logical kernel. Hence, if multiple LAN connections per node are present, the networking code can load balance the LAN traffic on the paths available. It can also route around failed links, providing both greater LAN bandwidth and better fault tolerance. See below for treatment of fault tolerance in systems which make use of distributed shared memory.
