Abstract
The systems and methods described herein include methods for providing resources over a data network. The methods may be embodied as processes operating on a computer server, wherein that server comprises a plurality of server platforms, each of which are truly equivalent in that each provides a functionally equivalent interface to a client. In one practice of the invention, a method responds to client requests by detecting a request from a client for access to a resource and by establishing a connection for communicating with the client. The method then identifies a server available for servicing the detected request, and determines whether state information is associated with the connection. The method then, grants the identified server with access to the state information and allows the identified server to create and transmit a response to the client, also allowing the identified server to update the state information.
