Abstract
In a computer network environment, a server protocol is provided to process read requests from clients. Rather than all read requests being processed synchronously or all read requests being processed asynchronously, an attempt is first made to perform a synchronous read. If the synchronous read is unsuccessful, the connection through which the request was received by the server is registered with a monitoring service. When the data is ready to be read, an appropriate callback is called and the data transmitted. An optional delay may be imposed before the synchronous read is attempted to increase the likelihood that the attempt will be successful. A series of delays/read attempts may also be employed in order to increase the likelihood still further that an attempt will be successful.
