ABSTRACT:
In a communications network, a request manager simultaneously dispatches a number of requests to servers corresponding to at least one domain of interest that is specified by a client. Multiple responses are received and a single collated response is sent back to the client that initiated the request. A request context table is provided which includes an anchor context and dependent contexts corresponding to each of the servers, and a session count for tracking receipt of all responses for each server. An internal cache of server addresses is also maintained.
