What do you mean exactly? do you mean the connection between nodes?
Connection between nodes (for pinging and status sending) can be
achieved via various ETH interfaces or serial link. If node 2 detects
that node 1 doesnt' reply then node 2 takes the control of the virtual
IP and services.

Note that HeartBeat-v2 allows more complex escenarios with various
nodes and groups of services running in different nodes at the same
time.

HA runs on several nodes, and all the nodes send status information to
others. It's not a centralized monitorization system but a distributed
one.
