Abstract
A method and apparatus for distributing a plurality of session requests across a plurality of servers. The method includes receiving a session request and determining whether the received request is part of an existing session. If the received request is determined not to be part of an existing session, then the request is directed to a server having the lowest expected load. If, however, the request is determined to be part of an existing session, then a second determination is made as to whether the server owning the existing session is in a dispatchable state. If the server is determined to be in a dispatchable state, then the request is directed to that server. However, if the server is determined not to be in a dispatchable state, then the request is directed to a server other than the one owning the existing session that has the lowest expected load.
