If only a single AppServer supports the application service (with or without a NameServer), a logical connection between a client session and that application service funnels all application service requests from this client to that one AppServer. In this case, the AppServer remains available to receive requests from all clients bound to this application service and manages its own pool of agents to service all such client requests. Although only one AppServer receives these requests, client requests are effectively handled in parallel based on the number of agents that it maintains, thereby achieving some efficiencies in the use of available computational resources.
