ABSTRACT:
A load sharing system composed of a plurality of servers that are interconnected over a network for providing optimum and efficient operations at high reliability. The system employs a plurality of servers and a communication controller. A state manager in the communication controller first establishes connection paths on the network to reach the state management agents. The state manager then performs a centralized management of activity status of the servers based on status information collected from the state management agents via the established connection paths. A distribution processor disposed in the communication controller receives service requests from user terminals via a network and determines their respective destinations according to management data provided by the state manager. The distribution processor then forwards the service requests to the servers over the communication medium to direct their execution. An operation controller activates or deactivates a plurality of parameters which will define how to distribute the service requests to the applications.
