SUPPLYING DATA FILES TO REQUESTING STATIONS

摘要

A traffic management system having two operational modes comprises a first interface to communicate with clients, a second interface to communicate with servers, and a processing device. The processing device monitors response times of the servers when responding to requests from the clients and computes an average service level. The traffic management system is switched from a first operational mode to a second operational mode when the average service level is worse than a first service level, and is switched back to the first operational mode when the average service level is better than a second service. The processing device processes the requests received from the clients based on this operational mode of the traffic management system. In the first operational mode no measures are taken to improve the average service level, and in the second operational mode at least one measure is taken to improve the average service level.
