Appeal 2007-1117
Application 09/825,495
Does Duursma describe a register that qualifies the application servers
based on the parameters of the services provided by the application service
providers?
FINDINGS OF FACT
Appellant discloses a network (Figure 1) that is configured to route a
request for service by client 102 via an ingress server 104 to at least two
application service provider servers (e.g., 114 and 122) that provide two
different types of service. Each of the service routing servers (e.g., 110 and
112) uses a predetermined application criteria to intelligently select one of
the at least two application service provider servers based on the user’s
request, and intelligently routes the request to the selected application
service provider server to perform the requested application service.
Appellant provides a register that qualifies the application servers based on
the parameters of the services provided by the application service providers.
Duursma describes a network (Figure 3B) that is configured to route a
request for service by client 20 via an ingress server 32 to at least two
application service provider servers 34 and 36 (col. 8, ll. 42 to 57). A
service routing server 30 uses a predetermined application criteria (e.g.,
load-balancing and application program availability) to intelligently select
one of the at least two application service provider servers based on the
user’s request, and intelligently routes the request to the selected application
service provider server to perform the requested application service using
either the second application program in application service provider server
34 or the third application program in application service provider server 36
(col. 8, ll. 58 to 67).
