Application 09/862,355
BACKGROUND
The invention is related to preventing resource hogging by limiting a
number of sessions active between a server process and a client process to a
predetermined threshold value. The client process may be identified by the
IP address of the computing node from which the client process is operating.
Claim 1 is illustrative:
1. A method operable within a server process for reducing
resource hogging of said server process comprising the steps of:
receiving a request from a client process to establish a session
with said server process;
determining a source identity attribute associated with said
client process from said request;
determining whether a new session may be established between
said client process and said server process based on said source
identity; and
rejecting said request in response to a determination based on
said source identity attribute that no new session may be established
between said client process and said server process to limit a number
of sessions active between the server process and the client process to
a predetermined threshold value.
