ABSTRACT:
Strategies are described for determining a configuration of information-transmission infrastructure. The information-transmission infrastructure includes a number of server modules for providing services to a collection of client modules. The configuration first involves determining whether a number of specified requirements can be satisfied using an input scaling equation. If so, the configuration proceeds by determining the number of server modules to deploy to satisfy the requirements using an output scaling equation, which determines the number m of server modules based on a linear transformation of the expected number of client modules. The configuration then involves assigning particular services to the server modules using either a probabilistic technique or a hash table technique. When deployed, all of the m server modules function as active sever modules (e.g., without the use of dedicated standby modules).
