Patent abstract
Mechanisms and techniques provide a method for determining the performance of a server, based upon a connection characteristic of a connection between the server and a client. The connection characteristic, such as the window size of the server, provides information regarding the performance or capacity of the server. Variation between the connection characteristic and a preferred connection characteristic is used by a data communications device, for example, to determine the performance of the server. Based upon the variation in the connection characteristic, the data communications device is then able to direct incoming content requests to other servers in communication with a network, as required.
