Abstract
Systems and methods to bind a client with a server are provided. A particular method includes establishing a connection between a server and a client. A list of best-fit server IP addresses is received at the client via the connection. A determination is made whether the server is identified in the list of best-fit server IP addresses. When the server is not identified in the list of best-fit server IP addresses, the connection to the server is terminated.

A method of binding a client to a server, the method comprising:
- establishing a connection between a server and a client;
- receiving, at the client via the connection, a list of best-fit server Internet Protocol (IP) addresses;
- determining whether the server is identified in the list of best-fit server IP addresses;
- and terminating the connection to the server when the server is not identified in the list of best-fit server IP addresses.

A server device, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory accessible to the processor;
- and a protocol engine executable by the processor to:
- establish a connection to a client device;
- and send a list of best-fit server Internet Protocol (IP)addresses to the client device via the connection, wherein the list of best-fit server IP addresses is determined based on network distribution criteria;
- wherein the client device terminates the connection to the server device when the server device is not on the list of best-fit server IP addresses.
