The present invention provides a method for managing requests for service over a communications network. The method of the invention comprises the steps of: receiving a request for service from a customer terminal at a queue server via the communications network; allocating a queue identifier to the request for service; sending the queue identifier to the customer terminal; receiving the queue identifier from the customer terminal at the queue server as part of a subsequent request for service; performing a comparison between the queue identifier and queue status information; and forwarding the request for service to the service host in accordance with the result of the comparison. Preferably, if sufficient resources are available, the request for service is forwarded directly to the service host without entering a queue. If there are insufficient resources, the request for service is held in an automatically managed queue and the risk of catastrophic failure is eliminated.

L'invention concerne un procédé de gestion des demandes de service sur un réseau de communications. Ce procédé consiste à: recevoir, via le réseau de communication, une demande de service d'un terminal d'abonné dans un serveur de mise en fil d'attente; attribuer un identificateur de file d'attente à la demande de service; transmettre l'identificateur de file d'attente au terminal d'abonné; recevoir du terminal d'abonné l'identificateur de file d'attente, dans le serveur de file d'attente, comme partie de la demande ultérieure de service; établir une comparaison entre l'identificateur de file d'attente et les informations d'état de file d'attente; et enfin, acheminer la demande de service à l'ordinateur hôte de service sur la base du résultat de cette comparaison. De préférence, en cas de ressources suffisantes, la demande de service est acheminée directement à l'ordinateur hôte de service sans mise en file d'attente. En cas de ressources insuffisantes, la demande de service est maintenue dans une file d'attente à gestion automatique. Le risque de défaillance catastrophique est ainsi supprimé.
