Abstract

The present invention provides a system and method for controlling a plurality of servers to process requests received from clients. The system comprises a gateway arranged to be responsive to receipt of a request from a client to generate a request parcel from said request, the request parcel containing the request and predetermined control information used to identify the request. A store is provided for receiving each request parcel generated by the gateway. Further, the system includes a plurality of resolvers, each resolver being associated with one of said plurality of servers. Each resolver is arranged to request from the store a request parcel, and upon receipt of a request parcel from the store is arranged to extract the request and control information from the request parcel, to pass the request to the associated server for processing, and to pass the control information to the gateway to enable data generated by the associated server to be routed to the client.
