    Abstract: Methods of operating an SIP load balancer, one or more SIP server nodes and/or one or more SIP server instances are provided that efficiently manage a processing load. Configurations for an SIP load balancer, one or more SIP server nodes and/or one or more SIP server instances to enable efficient management of a processing load are also described. In certain ones of these, state data for a set of SIP processes may be sent from a SIP server instance and used by a SIP load balancer to remove inactive SIP processes from a data structure. The management of a processing load comprising a number of SIP processes following the failure of a SIP server node and/or a SIP server instance is also provided.
