Abstract

The load of a server and its client is balanced during connection setup time and dynamically during operation. In one embodiment, a server that hosts virtual machines for a plurality of clients balances its load with its clients. The server receives a request from a requesting client to establish a connection. The request includes capacity information about the requesting client. The server then negotiates with the requesting client about load allocation based on the capacity information. The negotiated load can be dynamically rebalanced after the connection is established.
