Abstract
The invention relates to an architecture that facilitates assigning and load balancing of rooms assigned to at least one server. In an illustrative embodiment, the method comprises retrieving a current number of assigned rooms to each server, retrieving a current number of unassigned rooms, determining a current server weight for each of at least a subset of the at least one server within the at least two distribution groups, determining a total server weight, and calculating the number of rooms to load for at least a given one of the at least one server based at least in part on the number of unassigned rooms, total server weight, and current server weight of the given one of the at least one server.
