Examples of system and software architectural patterns include:
Automatic failover (hot, warm, and cold) N
Automatic garbage collection N
Automatic restart N
Built-in testing (BIT) N
Bus, star, ring, tree, and mesh network topology patterns N
Communication via proxies and wrappers N
Cryptography N
Data verification N
Firewalls N
Heartbeat N
Load balancing N
