– LoadMaster (NWS )
• Agent for load balancing clients on registered servers
• Assists in reassignment of clients when a registered server is no longer active
– IDP Environment does not currently support the Windows environment.
– Existing operational IDP file-push protocol (e.g., XMPP) does not adequately support binary file transfer today.
