Abstract
Connecting a client computer to a server may include receiving a first request at the server from the client computer for content managed by the server, and the first request includes a communication protocol and is sent from a first access point, receiving a second request at the server from the client computer for the content managed by the server, and the second request is transmitted from a second access point prior to the server responding to the first request and includes a different communication protocol than the first request, determining by the server the first request and the second request share a common attribute, transmitting a connection acceptance message from the server to the client computer identifying a selected one of the first request and the second request based on a most optimal connection associated with the selected request, and establishing a connection between the server and the client computer based on the selected request.
