<p>Access by users to transaction servers is restricted or gated by an access-control network, in situations in which a large number of users need to access the servers in a short amount of time. A user's computing device establishes a place in a wait process by contacting a wait server in the access control network and receiving a cookie file with an arrival stamp. The user's computing device periodically contacts with the wait node with the cookie file to determine if the user's turn is up. Each wait server maintains a model of estimated arrival times of users to provide a dynamically updated estimated wait time, and increments a demarcation value which dictates when a user is allowed to access a transaction server. When the user's turn is up, the wait server provides a URL of a transaction server to the user's computing device.</p> |
