Abstract:
There is provided method for managing communication in a system comprising a client entity and a plurality of servers, wherein the client entity is configured to send request messages to the servers, and wherein the servers are configured to process a request message received from the client entity and send to the client entity a response message as a result of processing said request message, the method comprising the steps of: sending, by the client entity, a request message to one of the plurality of servers for processing by the server; computing, by the server receiving the request message, an indicator for a processing load of the server, and including information relating to said indicator into the response message; sending, by the server, the response message to the client entity; storing, by the client entity, said information relating to said indicator; selecting, by the client entity, a server from said plurality of servers for sending a further request message to one of the plurality of servers, wherein said selecting is made at least on the basis of the stored information relating to one or more indicators for the processing load of one or more of the plurality of servers.
