SYSTEM FOR DISTRIBUTING LOAD BALANCE AMONG MULTIPLE SERVERS IN CLUSTERS

摘要

A system for distributing load between multiple servers (10a, 10b, 10c) where more than one server in a sever cluster receives a request for connection from a client and each server makes a determination of whether or not to respond to the request. Software modules (12) running on the servers monitor and communicate relative abilities of each server to respond to client requests. Each server responding to a percentage of client requests corresponding to its relative ability to respond.
