RESUMO
Multimedia Services has drawn much attention from both industrial and academic researchers due to the emerging consumer market, how to provide High-Availability service is one of most important issues to take into account. In this paper, a dynamic fault tolerant algorithm is presented for highly available distributed multimedia service, then by introducing SLB(server load balancing) into fault tolerance and switching servers in different ways according to their functions, the proposed schema can preserve reliability and real-time of the system .The analysis and experiments indicate that resuming server's faulty by this method is smooth and transparent to the client The proposed algorithm is effectively improving the reliability of the multimedia service.
