Server/Application State Protocol v1
RFC 4678, “Server/Application State Protocol v1”, is an Informational document published in September 2006 by A. Bivens. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Entities responsible for distributing work across a group of systems traditionally do not know a great deal about the ability of the applications on those systems to complete the work in a satisfactory fashion. Workload management systems traditionally know a great deal about the health of applications, but have little control over the rate in which these applications receive work. The Server/Application State Protocol (SASP) provides a mechanism for load balancers and workload management systems to communicate better ways of distributing the existing workload to the group members. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
