Load Balancing

Networking & Multiplayer
#1

Hi,

I was reading through the J2SE API docs and see the following para on page 10:

"
The default UserManagerPolicy is a simple random choice, which provides stochastic load balancing. More sophisticated mechanisms are certainly possible and can be substituted for the default with an optional ClientConnectionManager constructor parameter.
"

Does it means that we can code our own UserManagerPolicy to determine the load balancing?

Yes, you can.

Its also our intent to eventually pass more load information through teh discovery XML then we are currently (whioch woudl be none.)

I should add hopwever that final control is under the control of the server. It can always instruct the client APi to disconnect from their current connection and reconnect to a specific other connection point.

thanks. :wink:
