IBM VAST Server Smalltalk (SST) Workload Balancer
==================================================

Description

This code provides an example implementation for a transport-level workload balancer (WLB) for SST applications. The WLB sits in the communications path between an SST client and an SST server. It presents a facade to the SST client, masquerading as an instance of the target server, forwarding each client request to one of several configured server clones.

Supported Platforms

The WLB requires VAST/6.0 and the VAST SST feature. The WLB is not known to have any platform-specific dependencies or limitations.


Installation Instructions

The WLB implementation consists of Smalltalk code only. To install, import and load the single configuration map provided in the ".dat" file.
