  • Patent number: 10419515
    Abstract: A system to process navigation information includes at least one hardware processor and an information storage and retrieval platform executed by the at least one hardware processor. The information storage and retrieval platform is configured to receive a data request from a client, the data request including a client identifier that identifies the client, generate a network event in response to the data request received from the client, and generate, by the at least one hardware processor, a hash value from the client identifier. The information storage and retrieval platform is also configured to identify an address based on the hash value, determine a server by a lookup of the server from among a plurality of servers, the lookup being based on the identified address, and communicate the network event to the server.
