ABSTRACT:
A method for selecting (64) a server (30, 40or50) is based upon an available server capacity indication (66) for each of the servers. A server may become faulty. Repeated attempted selection (63) of a faulty server exponentially decreases (70) the probability of selecting the faulty server. The method performs a ratio of a currently available capacity for each server of a pool of servers to the total available capacity for all the servers in the pool (64). The server capacities for the pool of servers are dynamically changed (68, 70).
