Abstract

An admission control system for a server including an admission controller that receives a stream of messages from one or more clients targeted for the server. The admission controller relays to the server the messages in the stream that correspond to a number of sessions already underway between the clients and the server. The admission controller also relays to the server the messages in the stream that do not correspond to sessions already underway if a hybrid and predictive admission control strategy using information provided by a resource monitor indicates that additional sessions can be handled by the server. The admission controller defers the messages otherwise.
