ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, method and computer program product for network client-server multiplexing. The apparatus is implemented within an interface unit connecting a plurality of servers to the Internet, which is connected to a plurality of clients. According to a “connection pooling” aspect of the invention, the interface unit opens and maintains connections with the servers and handles the opening and closing of connections with clients accessing the servers, thereby freeing the servers of the processing load incurred by opening and closing connections. According to a “connection distribution” aspect of the invention, the interface unit examines the path names within requests received from clients and selects the server hosting the requested information according to the path names.
