ABSTRACT:
A method for use in geographically distributed or clustered system wherein an arbiter assigns clients to servers. The arbiter also dynamically assigns a valid time interval to each mapping request based on network load and/or capacity parameters such as the client request rate and/or the server capacity. Alternative means for dynamically setting the valid interval in conjunction with a scheduling process, which can be either deterministic or probabilistic, are also devised.
