ABSTRACT:
A method of load balancing messages to servers of a server farm, by a load balancer. The method includes configuring the load balancer with information on the session ID values which may be assigned by at least one of the servers, determining, by the load balancer, for at least some client messages including a non-empty session ID field, which server or sub-group of servers is associated with the ID in the ID field, responsive to the configured information, and selecting, by the load balancer, a server to receive each of the at least some client messages, at least partially responsive to the determination.
