Wireless application server load balancing

Wireless Application protocol (WAP) carries Internet traffic to mobile devices and allows Web services to be delivered to mobile phones and handsets. Traditional Web servers, known as WAP gateways, perform the translation from HTTP/HTML to WAP/WML (Wireless Markup Language) on the land-based part of the network. WAP supports most wireless networks and is supported by all operating systems. To load balance WAP traffic among available parallel servers, the WSM must provide persistency so that the clients can always go to the same WAP gateway to perform WAP operation. The WSM decides to which real gateway the request should go. WAP SLB is based on RADIUS static session entry or RADIUS snooping.
