Abstract:
Techniques are described for managing and controlling connections of server sessions, including systems and methods for managing and controlling connections to a server computer. Connections are monitored to a server computer depending on a “drain state” of the server computer. If the server is in drain mode, requests to initiate a fresh session with the server computer are rejected, or deferred until the server computer comes out of the drain state.
