Abstract
Systems and methods to implement load balancing of connections to a server computer in a server collection are described. The server collection receives connection requests from remote clients over a network. A session broker evaluates one or more load parameters of the server computers in the server collection and, based on those load parameters, determines load associated with each server computer. The session broker redirects the connection requests to the server computer which has a lesser load.
