YSoft SafeQ Server FlexiSpooler failover mechanism

Common deployment of Near Roaming Group (NRG) has several site servers. Spooler Controller (SPOC) and FlexiSpooler in server mode are installed on each site server as you can see on the picture below.

Default behavior

In case of SPOC unavailability (update or temporal outage) FSP re-connects (failover) to another SPOC in the same NRG by default. FSP checks availability of its local SPOC every minute and if SPOC is back online, FSP will connect back to the local SPOC in cca one minute.
