RE: Request for Comment: Elapsed-Time as Event in OPES/ICAP

["Derek Maxson, Front Porch" <techmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All:

	Perhaps using groups for timing. A hash could be usedto aggregate into
interval groups.

	Take 1000 users to be redirected every 10 minutes.  Split the users into
40 groups by IP hash that will be redirected 25 at a time every 15 seconds.

	This would likely decrease the load of remembering time stamps for all
1000 users (in this example) and enable much larger numbers to be handled.

	The proxy could keep track of each of the 40 groups as buckets and load
balance by dropping IP's into the bucket(s) with the fewest active sessions.

	Thoughts?

Derek
