Abstract

See full text

A method of routing in a computer network having a pool of servers capable of servicing requests for access to a set of server resource objects. The set of server resource objects are distributed in a non-homogeneous manner across the server pool. According to the method, each incoming client request for access to a specified server resource object is targeted to a router having an associated port space identifying a plurality of ports. Based on the port on which an incoming client request is received, the request is mapped to one of the server resource objects. The router then selects the 'best provider' and redirects or forwards the request to that server. The routing and redirection is based upon the port for the incoming request.
