SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAINTAINING STATEFUL INFORMATION

A system for maintaining stateful information includes a client proxy configured to receive and collect status information associated with a client, and a state machine executing on a processor to collect and store the status information in a memory and provide stateful information associated with the client. The client may be a stateless client and the state machine may be configured to maintain stateful information associated with the stateless client. The state machine is may be configured to collect and store information intended for the client and provide the stored information to the client. The system may further include a client status processor configured to process the status information associated with the client and to provide the status information to the client proxy to control the stateful information.
