Abstract
Apparatus for processing requests from a plurality of connected clients for data stored by a plurality of connected servers comprising a processor, memory, storage, a network interface, and a user input device is disclosed. The processor is configured to receive requests from the connected clients via the network interface, select a connected server to route each requests to, thereby defining a selected server per request, create a connection per request to its selected server using the network interface, route the requests to their selected servers using the connections, and monitor the connections while the selected servers service the requests, so as to create monitored connection data for each connection. The monitored connection data is stored in data structures that are referenced by a buffer, and upon creation of a data structure relating to the most recently created connection, reference to the oldest data structure in the buffer is removed.
