  • System and method for providing look ahead socket generation
    Patent number: 6859836
    Abstract: A system and method for providing look ahead socket generation is disclosed. Generally, when a client application requests communication with a server application, protocol associated with the client application requests an open connected socket from a socket pool. The protocol receives the open connected socket and assigns the socket to the client application to provide communication between the client application and the server application. The socket pool is replenished after reception of the socket to ensure that a predefined number of open connected sockets is maintained within the socket pool. Established communication between the client application and the server application is then maintained by the protocol.
