Abstract
An example system includes a processor to receive a client location request from a first client and forward the client location request to a remote server including a bucket associated with requested second client. The processor is to also receive the requested client location from the remote server. The processor is to forward the requested client location to the first client. The requested client location is an address of a server at which the second client is connected.
Claims20
A system, comprising a processor to:
- receive a client location request from a first client and forward the client location request to a remote server comprising a bucket associated with a second client based on a bucket location list;
- receive the requested client location from the remote server;
- and
- forward the requested client location to the first client, wherein the requested client location is an address of a server at which the second client is connected.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, via a processor, a client location request from a first client and forward the client location request to a remote server comprising a bucket associated with the requested client based on a bucket location list;
- receiving, via the processor, the requested client location from the remote server;
- and
- forwarding, via the processor, the requested client location to the first client.
A computer program product for tracking client location using buckets, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program code executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
- receive a client location request from a first client and forward the client location request to a remote server comprising a bucket associated with the requested client based on a bucket location list;
- receive the requested client location from the remote server;
- forward the requested client location to the first client;
- and
- receive a location update from a second client and forward the location update to a remote server associated with the second client.
