Abstract
Techniques disclosed herein describe methods for achieving resource affinity and scalability in dynamic environments by calculating the modulus of a numeric request identifier against a fixed selection of numbers. Using the proposed techniques yields a numeric request identifier and resource identifier combination that ensures a given resource possesses the unique state applicable to that user's request. Using a fixed selection of numbers thus maintains resource affinity while achieving scalability as resources are added to or subtracted from a pool of resources.
