Abstract

Dynamic management of concurrent client connections to a server is achieved by a server, in that the server monitors its load state and when the server's maximum permitted number of concurrent requests has been exceeded it reduces the clients' maximum numbers of permitted concurrent requests until such time as the overloading situation no longer persists. In this way, the capacity of each of multiple connections can be controlled by the server individually or as a group, wherein the control is dynamic, so that the client-server connections do not have to be accurately configured in advance.
