Abstract
Server health and client information are exchanged through headers for request management. Headers in standardized or proprietary protocol communication between servers and a request management module and/or clients and the request management module may be used to exchange server health and client information. The exchanged server health and/or client information may be employed in throttling, routing, and/or load balancing the incoming requests. Rules specified by the client through the header exchange may also be used for throttling, routing, and/or load balancing decisions.
