Problems solved by technology

A problem concerning data traffic managing systems is that of how to define functionality.
The design of such systems is complicated greatly if it is necessary to access external sources, such as client databases to determine, for example, appropriate levels of client access.
The situation is complicated further in that the implementation of standard engineering techniques could easily undermine requirements for security and resistance to unauthorised communications.

Embodiment Construction

FIG. 1

[0027] An environment in which communication is provided between a server and many clients is illustrated in FIG. 1. In this example, a network connection is provided via the Internet and the invention is (although not exclusively) applicable to this environment, given that situations often arise where many (many thousands for example) of browsing clients are requesting data from the same Internet address or website; whereupon a substantial resource is required at the server in order to provide service to all of these requesting browsers at an appropriate level. However, in other embodiments clients could be using other protocols such as Web-Services or SOAP, or could be HTTP clients on networks other than the Internet. The Internet is used here merely as an example of a popular application of the invention.

[0028] In this example, clients 102 to 106 are shown, although it should be appreciated that this is merely representative of the many thousands of clients requesting data...

Abstract

Flow of data traffic between at least one server and a plurality of clients is managed. Client-side connections are provided and server-side connections are provided. An isolated processing environment is created responsive to instructions specific to the environment. Isolated environment specific instructions are received, defining a traffic management rule. A request from a client, via an established client-side connection, is received and a response is made following the environment specific instructions.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to managing the flow of data traffic between at least one server and plurality of clients. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] A problem concerning data traffic managing systems is that of how to define functionality. The design of such systems is complicated greatly if it is necessary to access external sources, such as client databases to determine, for example, appropriate levels of client access. The situation is complicated further in that the implementation of standard engineering techniques could easily undermine requirements for security and resistance to unauthorised communications. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of managing the flow of data traffic between at least one server and a plurality of clients, comprising the steps of providing browser-side connections, providing server-side connections, creating an isolated processing envir...
