Abstract
An information network, such as the Internet (FIG. 1), uses a plurality of servers ( ) each one of which serves only a single object ( ), whereby the servers avoid the processing overhead involved in searching through files containing a plurality of objects for a requested object. Rather, receipt of a request by a server can only mean a request for the one object served by the server, which the server retrieves and provides to the requesting client ( ). Since each server serves only one object, the client must contact a plurality of the servers in order to obtain a page ( ) of information that comprises a plurality of objects.
