Abstract
A Session Allocation Manager (“SAM”) manages multiple client connections to a limited number of host terminal sessions. The SAM also minimizes the latency involved in creating and terminating a host session. The SAM may reside on a server in the communication path between the client and the host session. Host data objects may use the SAM to associate a client connection to a host session. The SAM monitors the session activity and enforces inactivity timeouts. The SAM also attempts to reestablish a host session when it fails. In an environment having only a limited number of available terminal sessions, the SAM may control the session by creating a session window. A connection mechanism directed by the client may then request a session window from the SAM. If multiple clients ask for the same connection mechanism, the SAM may dedicate a particular session window to a particular type of connection mechanism.
