Abstract
An improved method and apparatus for creating a context-sensitive pathsend in a asynchronous data packet network of the kind used typically in on-line transaction processing where a particular receiving server in a server pool must communicate with a particular originating client. By piggybacking messages and employing run-time binding to create a logical connection between the server and client, the present invention achieves a dramatic improvement in processing data packets and minimizing system resources. In a preferred embodiment the invention is backwardly compatible with existing context-free applications.
